SERVICE TO FARMERS.
We are a company specialising in plant nutrition and bioprotection, internationally consolidated and with a deep-rooted commitment to service.
Everything we create at Atlántica Agrícola
is aimed at facilitating efficient and sustainable production, with little or no environmental impact.
40 years of natural farming
This year, 2022, marks 40 years of service to farmers. In 1982, the founders of Atlántica Agrícola, Antonio Montilla and Manuel Salguero, envisioned a new model of agriculture based on the exclusion of aspects alien to nature and the creation of natural nutritional and bioprotective substances that wouldn't contaminate soils, crops and fruits, in order to provide the highest possible degree of health to all the inhabitants of the planet.
We have highly qualified Staff
Our technical and R&D areas have been staffed for four decades with highly experienced personnel in biostimulants, micro-organisms and botanical extracts, adding new solutions to their long experience and expertise in Natural Agriculture, adapting to each type of crop, climate and agronomic technique to offer solutions across a total of 70 countries.
We bring health and wellness to people through sustainable and effective solutions for improving agriculture.
Science
Agriculture and Science, a necessary link for evolution and historically tied to the development of Mankind.
Our technical and R&D areas have been staffed for four decades with highly experienced personnel in biostimulants, plant nutrition, micro-organisms and biocontrol, and add new solutions to their long experience and expertise in Natural Agriculture.
Multipurpose innovation laboratory
Laboratory where most of the company’s research is conducted, focusing on cutting-edge biotechnological projects. This space is a nucleus of creativity and development where different areas are explored, such as the cultivation and extraction of active compounds from biotech resources, developing advanced techniques for their use in industrial applications and types of products.
Moreover, products and raw materials are designed and generated with molecules with “hormone-like” activity, which act at key points of plant metabolism. In this way, the plant is activated with very low application doses in a wide variety of environmental conditions, thus enhancing its use in agricultural applications.
This laboratory also carries out the study and use of industrial co-products, conditioning and reusing them in line with the circular economy and zero waste philosophy.
Agerod
Product development laboratory
Laboratory dedicated to the formulation and optimisation of agrochemical products, determining the ideal combinations and proportions of coadjuvants and active ingredients needed to create high quality end products, based on the compounds and molecules researched in the Multipurpose Innovation Laboratory (INNOPOL).
The phenomic and physiological parameters of the plant materials used in the company’s experiments are also analysed, ensuring that the formulations are effective and safe for agricultural use.
Microorganism Laboratory
This laboratory is dedicated to finding, isolating, researching and producing those microorganisms that have a positive effect on crops, either because they help in their development, because they improve yields or because they protect crops from different types of stress (biotic or abiotic).
In this area, microorganisms are sought in samples, for example, from soil or roots, and then isolated, studied and identified using different molecular biology techniques. Once it has been decided which microorganisms are of interest to the company, this laboratory studies their growth and needs for their production at an industrial level. Later, when the microorganisms have been grown, processing is carried out to obtain, concentrate and dry them in order to obtain a microbial raw material ready to be formulated and packaged.
The Microorganisms Team is also responsible for the quality control of the microbial raw material, as well as for guaranteeing the quality, concentration and viability of the microorganisms present in the final product of the Atlántica Group.
Climatic cultivation chambers and experimental farms
We have three climatic cultivation chambers that allow us to rigorously control all the critical variables for plant development. These facilities are essential for conducting initial tests on the solutions before scaling up the experiments to the experimental farms, located in Villena and Mazarrón. Thanks to the cultivation systems available, both classical and hydroponic, the performance of the solutions can be evaluated under a wide variety of conditions, ensuring their efficacy in multiple agricultural scenarios. These infrastructures allow for continuous innovation and the development of advanced solutions that address the current challenges of biotechnology and agrochemistry, always focused on sustainability and integral use of resources.
Quality
To control, ensure and approve the richness of each production batch produced in our factories.
The main objective of the Quality laboratory is to control, ensure and approve the richness of each of the production batches produced, both in the liquids plant and in the solubles plant, with the aim of complying with the quality standards of all the countries we work in.
Exhaustive Quality Control
To this end, the quality team carries out an exhaustive control of the raw materials used in the production processes as well as in the final product.
Stability and compatibility testing
Moreover, we test the stability of our products under different temperature conditions to ensure that their characteristics are maintained over time, since we distribute our solutions in a large number of countries with diverse locations and climatic conditions. In addition, product compatibility tests are carried out.
INTEGRATED QUALITY MODEL
Biostimulants, micro-organisms, botanical extracts.
In Grupo Atlántica there is a model of transversal quality that allows us to coordinate, monitor and promote good practices in each process of the ecosystem of our work, as well as to synchronise all the processes and confer efficiency and a corporate sense to them.
For a family Group such as Grupo Atlántica, this transversal quality is an important commitment that is developed in the area of Innovation and that is in continuous improvement and permanent renovation through a combination of analysis, creativity and effort to always offer the best of what we know how to do to our clients.
QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Our Quality and Environmental Management System is based on ISO 9001 and 14001. It is about holistic quality focused on our products, processes, technical and human resources, internal management and organisation. In terms of the company's environmental performance, we are committed to pollution prevention and environmental protection. The scope of this quality system directly affects design, manufacturing and marketing.
RD 506/2013 Fertilisers
The Atlántica Agrícola Management System is certified under the requirements of Royal Decree 506/2013. The scope of this certification is the manufacture of fertilisers of Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 according to Annex I of RD 506/2013. This Royal Decree requires us to have an internal quality control system.
REACH/CLP
Atlántica Agrícola is involved in all the regulatory compliance established in the chemical industry. In this case, we work exhaustively and constantly to implement and comply with each of the requirements established by these regulations related to chemical products, such as REACH and CLP.
ADR/IMDG
Atlántica Agrícola works in two main ways for the transport of our products: by road and by sea. Depending on the type of product, we comply with a number of regulations.
