Lallemand Plant Care

Lallemand Plant Care develops and markets microorganism-based products for agriculture and urban forestry. Its portfolio covers plant protection, biostimulation and biofertilization, using beneficial bacteria, fungi, yeast and their derivatives. Products include microbial bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bionematicides, rhizobial inoculants, mycorrhizal inoculants and botanical insecticides. These formulations are used to control pests and plant pathogens, support nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization, improve nutrient and water uptake, and help plants manage environmental stress. The range serves broad-acre crops such as canola, corn, soybean, pulses, potatoes, wheat and cereals, as well as greenhouse and open-field fruits and vegetables, ornamentals and medicinal crops.

The business entered plant care in 2006, building its operations through acquisitions in biofertilization, plant bioprotection, forestry and microbial production. It identifies and selects microbial strains for root and aerial plant applications, then produces stable formulations through an integrated network of laboratories, production facilities and technical expertise. The company maintains control of the manufacturing process from laboratory work through commercial product supply. Its global research activity involves more than 400 scientists and collaborations with universities and research centers focused on plant-microbe interactions. Technical support includes application recommendations and integrated pest management program customization for growers and forestry users.
