About Us
Fast. Nimble. Small. Competitive. These words not only describe a hummingbird, the symbol on AgraQuest’s logo, but also embody the company’s style and culture. And, like the hummingbird searches for nectar from a flower, AgraQuest searches for pesticidal products from naturally occurring microorganisms.
The founders of AgraQuest believed that the natural world was fertile ground for the search and discovery of new products for pest management. More than 50% of human drugs are derived from natural sources like plants and microorganisms; but only 7% of all pesticides are derived from these sources. Since 1995, AgraQuest has proven that the natural world is an untapped source of new, and natural, pesticidal products. After discovering and screening over 20,000 microorganisms, AgraQuest has developed and commercialized a line of innovative, effective, natural products for pest management.
