Since 1976, ILSA’s emphasis on research, in cooperation with universities and other institutions in Italy and abroad, has enabled it to create a variety of new products that are:

Efficiently used by plants

user-safe

environmentally safe

The latest successes from this cooperative approach to research and development are the FCH® and FCEH® industrial processes, which have added to ILSA’s reputation as a leader in technology for the production of controlled and slow-release nitrogen fertilizers.



ILSA conducts its research in conjunction with several Public Universities and Private Research Institutes in different part of the world:

The Company has recently begun a research project, called BIOVENUS, which will take place over the next three years. ILSA’S Research & Development budget through 2003-2005 is pegged at 2.63 million euro, enabling the company to develop even more innovative organic fertilizers and update its ResearchCenter.


At the beginning of 2004 ILSA obtained European Community to develop new fertilizers and bio-stimulants specifically for organic agriculture and sustainable agriculture. ILSA’s partners in this enterprise are:

AGROBIO PRUDUCTS (The Netherlands)

BIOLAT (Lithuania)
