New crop nutrition system to reduce dependency on mineral fertilisers

02.12.2025 220 views

Agtech business Arevo is launching a new crop nutrition system to reduce the dependency on mineral fertilisers, claiming it provides growers with more predictable and consistent crop yields.

Arginex is a crop nutrition system that activates stronger roots – with longer hairs, greater surface area and deeper reach – and boosts overall soil health to produce resilient crops and sustainable harvests.

The company claims that almost half of the synthetic fertilisers used on crops go to waste, with approximately 50% lost to the environment through leaching.

Arginex works differently, combining arginine – nature’s most nitrogen-rich amino acid and the type plants naturally prefer – with phosphate, Arginex forms a stable, molecularly defined compound that stays in the soil, resists leaching, and feeds crops at the root zone over time.

This feeds the crop directly as arginine is absorbed intact, plus supplies a carbon bonus, via root transporters. The company also claims it activates root biology, stays where it’s needed and delivers steady nitrogen and phosphorus over time.

“Arginex is a high-purity, single-compound formula built on precision and engineered to stay stable, last longer, and perform consistently under changing conditions,” says Niklas Åström, CEO of Arevo. “This isn’t just another input. It’s a catalyst and a movement for systemic change: sparking a chain reaction that makes the whole system stronger and a transition away from harmful chemicals.”

According to the company, because it is non-microbial – non living – every batch of Arginex contains the same formula, which keeps the ingredients stable and offers greater consistency. The company also claims a decade of research shows yield increases over a range of crops.
