LCO Promoter Technology is a naturally-occurring molecule that brings unprecedented early-season plant health benefits to a number of crops. We have a proven track record of successfully commercializing this revolutionary technology, making it profitable for growers and the distribution chain. At EMD Crop BioScience, we invest time, talent and resources in the development, manufacturing and marketing of these exceptional products - either bringing them to market ourselves or through strategic partnerships - around the world.
Our heritage organization, Nitragin, Inc. was the first inoculant producer in the world to achieve ISO 9001 certification - proof of our commitment to quality for our many customers and business partners worldwide.
Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we are committed to advancing crop-enhancing technologies and making these products available to growers. Originally founded as The Nitragin Company in 1898 after a Milwaukee entrepreneur purchased rights to a commercial process for the production of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, Nitragin was purchased in 1991 by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. Nitragin, as a part of Merck KGaA’s North American EMD group, was the world’s leading legume inoculant producer and marketer.
As we move forward, the individuals who comprise EMD Crop BioScience continue to strive to commercialize technologies that enable grower to produce maximum yields from every acre planted. Through aggressive research, innovative marketing and a forward-thinking, talented staff, we at EMD Crop BioScience will lead the crop enhancing technology market.
