About
About A&L Biological
A&L Biological Inc. is a research-driven company dedicated to developing practical, bio-based solutions that enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. Established in 2008, we focus on improving crop performance through a deeper understanding of the soil microbiome, plant health, and biological inputs.
Our multidisciplinary team includes Ph.D. scientists and skilled technicians specializing in plant pathology, molecular biology, microbiology, virology, and biochemistry. Working out of our world-class laboratory equipped for advanced research in molecular biology, microbiology, plant biology, and analytical chemistry, we combine science with innovation to deliver real-world agricultural solutions.
We maintain a diverse library of over 4,000 microbial isolates—fungi and bacteria—30% of which are already characterized for use in bio-stimulation, plant protection, and agrochemical compatibility.
Our Expertise Spans:
Development of Biological Formulations
Soil Health Assessment and Diagnostics
Environmental and Disease Analysis
Our Philosophy
At A&L Biological, our approach to innovation is grounded in over 30 years of expertise in soil science, agronomy, and microbiome research. Our work is driven by a deep understanding of integrated plant production and functionality - a systems-based model that considers the complex interactions between soil, plant, and microbial life. ​
​
We believe that biologicals are not standalone solutions. Instead, they are most effective when used in synergy with existing technologies and agronomic practices. Healthy plant growth begins with healthy soil, and supporting the right microbial populations requires balanced plant nutrition and a carefully managed growing environment.
