Arevo Launches New Crop Nutrition System Aimed at Reducing Fertiliser Dependency

Arevo, a Swedish agtech company, has secured €7.3 million to accelerate the scale-up of its bio-based fertiliser and support international expansion.

Key Takeaways

  • Arevo introduced Arginex, a crop nutrition system designed to improve root development and support soil health.
  • The company positions Arginex as an alternative to mineral fertilisers, which contribute to soil degradation and nutrient loss.
  • Trials across corn, potato, and soy reported measurable yield increases, even with reduced fertiliser inputs.
  • Arevo highlights consistent formulation and performance as key advantages for growers facing rising costs and climate pressures.
  • The product is based on over a decade of research into arginine-based nutrient delivery.

Arevo Unveils Arginex as a New Approach to Crop Nutrition

Arevo has announced the launch of Arginex, a crop nutrition system designed to lessen agriculture’s long-standing reliance on mineral fertilisers. The company stated that the product aims to produce stronger roots, improve soil function, and support more predictable crop yields.

According to the European Environment Agency’s Europe’s Environment 2025 report, 60–70% of EU soil is degraded. The Food and Agriculture Organization has also noted reduced crop productivity in areas experiencing significant land degradation. Arevo positions Arginex as a response to these challenges, emphasizing nutrient stability and reduced losses compared with conventional fertilisers, which can lose up to 50% of nitrogen to leaching.


How Arginex Works

Arginex combines arginine—the nitrogen-rich amino acid naturally preferred by plants—with phosphate to form a stable compound. The company reports several technical features:
