Agrauxine is Lesaffre’s dedicated agricultural division, specializing in the selection and development of beneficial microorganisms—such as yeasts, fungi, bacteria, and their derivatives—to improve plant nutrition and crop health.

The company develops, manufactures, and markets biosolutions for crops with the aim of reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers and optimizing the use of phytopharmaceutical products, thereby supporting the transition toward more sustainable production systems.

Agrauxine’s products are carefully selected for their functional properties and are subject to a rigorous registration process that ensures both efficacy and safety for farmers and the environment. The portfolio addresses three key areas:

Beyond finished products, Agrauxine also offers custom fermentation services to partners across the BioAg industry, leveraging Lesaffre’s long-standing expertise in multiple fermentation technologies. The company has recently achieved successful industrial scale production of Beauveria, Metarhizium, and Streptomyces.

In 2025, Agrauxine expanded access to a broad range of highly qualified ingredients for blenders and tollers. By leveraging Lesaffre’s recognized expertise and industrial know-how, Agrauxine contributes to nourishing and protecting the planet through high-performance solutions that support sustainable agriculture.

Trust is a cornerstone of Agrauxine’s development. The reliability and consistency of product performance have earned the confidence of key players across the agricultural sector—an asset the company continues to strengthen through ongoing investment in innovative biological solutions. Agrauxine’s expertise enables it to deliver reliable responses to today’s most pressing agronomic challenges.

In the context of climate change and increasing yield pressure, Agrauxine remains deeply committed to helping farmers preserve productivity. Guided by the philosophy of “one organism; multiple products,” the company has developed a comprehensive range of yeast-based biosolutions compatible with both conventional and organic farming systems under the Yeast Efficiency concept.

Years of R&D have been invested in defining the mode of action and precise composition of each formulation. Built around a single living organism—yeast—this product range highlights the remarkable diversity of yeast and its derivatives in biostimulation, biocontrol, and bionutrition.

Agrauxine has developed an advanced range of yeast-based biostimulants designed to help growers address climate challenges. Produced through specific fermentation processes, each product has a unique mode of action that supports yield security, crop development, and improved qualitative and quantitative performance.

As U.S. soybean yields reach record projections, Agrauxine continues to strengthen its leadership in the legume inoculant market. The company offers a diversified legacy inoculant portfolio tailored to specific distribution channels:

• America’s Best Inoculant®: Designed for commercial liquid seed treaters.
• Graph-Ex®: Favored for ease of use and planter box application.

In 2025, Agrauxine launched a new production line for powder formulations, utilizing the patented Rhizolock™ formulation technology. This protects rhizobia and enables combination with talc and graphite for improved application ease.

Looking Ahead: Agrauxine is expanding its innovation pipeline through the Unlock Phosphorus program. This initiative focuses on developing microbial-based solutions that improve phosphorus availability in soils through an ambitious strain-screening program.
