Agriculture
Sylvan is a global leader in the production of fungal-based natural biologicals for use in plant health, crop protection, and agri-industrial applications. We can manufacture your TGAI (technical grade active ingredients) designed to improve farm performance without harming the environment.
Fungal Biocontrol
Fungal-based biological control products and biostimulants offer significant advantages for agriculture by using naturally occurring fungi to target pests, unwanted fungal infections, and enhance plant health. These eco-friendly solutions reduce reliance on chemical pesticides and fungicides, minimizing harmful residues on crops and supporting sustainable farming practices. Beneficial fungi strengthen plant defenses, improve nutrient uptake, and promote growth, contributing to healthier soil ecosystems. The use of fungal inoculants to improve plant nutrition and yields under adverse conditions like drought or salt stress is now standard in agriculture.
Sylvan collaborates with clients to develop and deliver cost-effective, reliable technical grade active ingredients (TGAI) from various fungal species including different Trichoderma strains, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium, and Clonostachys. The identification of novel fungal species, combined with streamlined regulatory procedures, suggests a promising future for these products.

Nematodes
NemaPro® by Sylvan is an effective biological application containing live Steinernema feltiae nematodes to control sciarid fly larvae. Fungus gnats, which prefer unsprayed compost, can infest it anytime after pasteurization. NemaPro® targets pests by having nematodes penetrate larvae, releasing symbiotic bacteria that kill them within hours. Timely applications are recommended when larvae are present. For Phase II and III composts, apply 2 million nematodes per m² in 1 liter of water per m², either in a single or split dose. Our 100% organic product complies with FiBL and OMRI standards, using natural diatomaceous earth to avoid microplastics. Trust Sylvan for natural, eco-friendly pest control in agriculture.

Bacillus
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is a versatile bacterium with numerous benefits and applications in agriculture, industry, and medicine. In agriculture, it acts as a biocontrol agent, combating plant pathogens like Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium, and promoting plant growth through root colonization. It enhances soil health by producing enzymes that break down organic matter, improving nutrient availability. This bacterium also induces systemic resistance in plants, helping them withstand various stresses. B. amyloliquefaciens is an effective product in sustainable and eco-friendly practices across multiple sectors.
Sylvan represents some of the leading manufacturers of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, so talk to your Crop Care team today.
