Research

Research has played a crucial role for ILSA since 1976, when the first collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza started, expanding over time to numerous national and international universities and research institutes.

Investing in research is a priority for ILSA because soil and plants are very complex biological systems that need to be investigated and understood with a multidisciplinary research approach.

Excellence in Research

The company develops research projects financed with its own resources and with resources made available by regional, national and European institutions.

The Corporate
Research Center

The pivotal role of research at ILSA was formalized in 2005 with the inauguration of the Corporate Research Center, which employs highly specialized personnel from leading Italian universities.

Biotechnologists, chemists, agronomists and pharmacists, all working with the common goal of achieving product and process innovation.

The corporate research center is equipped with all the state-of-the-art technologies for preliminary screening of prototypes.

Certifications

Inspired by the vision of ILSA’s founder, we are passionately committed to demonstrating our value through the most demanding certifications. This commitment results in a number of recognitions, including process, product and organic certifications.

Unique Production Processes

With "The green evolution", ILSA can count on particularly efficient production technologies for more responsible and sustainable agriculture.
These technologies are highly automated and unique of their kind because they are the only ones capable of producing modulated release solid organic fertilizers (a process called: FCH®- Fully Controlled Hydrolysis) and liquid fertilizers with predetermined molecular weight in the production phase (process called: FCEH®). In recent years, the company has supplemented FCH® and FCEH® with the SFE® (Supercritical Fluid Extraction) extraction process.
