We feed life with life.

Living biofertilizers and biocontrol agents that help farmers grow 20–30% more — on healthier soil, with a fraction of the chemical input.

Why we exist

Years of heavy chemical fertilizer have left farmland tired and farmers paying more for less. We answer with living microbes — strains that fix nitrogen, unlock phosphorus, mobilize potassium and guard roots — so the soil starts working for the farmer again.

The process

From bench to reality

01 / 07 — Sample

It starts in the soil.

Every product begins with beneficial soil microbes — the nitrogen fixers, phosphorus solubilizers and fungal guardians that healthy soil already depends on.

  • Rhizosphere microbes
  • Bacteria & fungi

02 / 07 — Isolate

One colony. One purpose.

On the bench, candidates are streaked, separated and screened. Only strains that fix nitrogen, unlock phosphorus, mobilize potassium or fight pathogens move forward.

  • N-fixers
  • P-solubilizers
  • K-mobilizers

03 / 07 — Multiply

From one cell to two hundred million.

Selected strains are multiplied under controlled conditions until every gram of product carries 2×10⁸ living cells.

04 / 07 — Formulate

Field-ready, liquid or powder.

The culture is formulated, quality-checked and packed in sizes that suit a smallholder plot or a commercial farm.

05 / 07 — Apply

Seed, leaf or drip.

Farmers coat seed before sowing, spray onto leaves or feed it through drip lines — just 1–1.5 kg per hectare. No bulk, no heavy lifting.

  • Seed 15–20 ml/kg
  • Foliar 3 L/ha
  • Drip 2 L/acre

06 / 07 — Work

A living workforce underground.

Around the roots the microbes get to work: pulling nitrogen from the air, dissolving locked phosphorus, releasing potassium and coiling around fungal pathogens.

07 / 07 — Harvest

Reality: more grain, less input.

Yields rise 20–30%, tired soils recover, and farmers report spending a third of what they used to on inputs.

Farmers testimony

The proof grows in the field.

Hirut Alemayehu +6 quintals
“Each year my production kept declining while the cost of fertilizers and pesticides kept rising. Since I started using Thur Biotech’s biofertilizer, my yield has increased — six more quintals this year — my fertilizer expenses are far lower, and my soil has visibly improved.”

Hirut Alemayehu Farmer

Ato Mulugeta Zewde 3× lower input cost
“Years of excessive chemical fertilizer had drained my soil. With Thur Biotech’s biofertilizer and their follow-up guidance I get a better yield than before, and what I spend on inputs has dropped threefold. I am telling my friends to use it too.”
