fungi in Europe growing five well characterised strains within its controlled growing facilities split between East Malling Research and Kent Science Park. PlantWorks maintains a large collection of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) that it routinely cultures and formulates in support of farming trials and new product offerings.

In 2014 PlantWorks commenced its farming programme that has seen it collaborate in joint research and trials programmes with the country’s leading agriculture research stations as well as many of the UK’s leading agronomy companies and directly with farming groups. This work has yielded the development of the SMART ROTATIONS programme, and associated products, that support the general concept of maintaining high levels of microbial activity in soil to increase natural plant efficiency, consequently reducing fertigation requirements and enhancing natural plant health and defences
