Research topics

ILSA's mission is perfectly reflected in the research topics that the company has been pursuing with commitment and passion since 1976, the year of the first agreement with universities. In view of the researches carried out, focusing mainly on the development of "smart" fertilisers and next generation biostimulants of low environmental impact, the activity has always been characterised by a holistic view of the soil-plant system.

The dedication to these research topics over the years has produced high-level scientific relationships and publications, confirming the interest and quality of the work carried out.  

Thanks to continuous studies and the high level of knowledge of raw materials and the bioactive molecules contained therein, thanks to the unique technologies of dynamic thermobaric hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and extraction in supercritical fluids, ILSA is able to achieve products from renewable sources, unique and efficient. All the research topics provide for specific skills and complex activities of high scientific precision, which from the laboratory to the field, lead to the realisation of "smart" and innovative products belonging to three main categories:


  • PLANT BIOSTIMULANTS, PRODUCTS WITH A SPECIFIC ACTION ON PLANT;
  • PRODUCTS WITH A SPECIFIC ACTION ON THE SOIL;
  • CO-FORMULANTS: PRODUCTS WITH ACTION ON OTHER FERTILIZERS;

In addition to the extreme focus on basic research and research applied in the field of agriculture, ILSA is devoted, with great satisfaction,to special projects, including independent researches potentially strategic for the future development of the company, which also concern other sectors such as the textile, cosmetic, zootechnical and tanning industries.
