New Delhi: IPL Biologicals, a global leader in agri-biologicals with an extensive range of bio-pesticides, bio-fungicides, and bio-fertilisers, has partnered with AFEPASA, one of Europe’s oldest manufacturers of bio-control, nutrition, and plant bio-stimulation solutions. The two companies will globally register and market IPL’s proprietary microbial bio-pesticides through this agreement. The first product to be registered under this agreement is IPL’s flagship nematicide, known for its efficacy. Starting with Europe, this product will be registered globally. Given the ineffectiveness of chemical products against nematodes, IPL’s nematicide has vast market potential worldwide, the agri-biological company said.
The agreement was formalised at the AFEPASA office in Spain, with IPL represented by Harsh Vardhan Bhagchandka, President; and AFEPASA by Manel Montaño, CEO. This joint venture will benefit farmers globally by providing effective solutions for hard-to-control pests, reducing reliance on chemicals, and enhancing both yield and quality.

Elaborating on the collaboration, Harsh Vardhan Bhagchandka, said, “We are excited to collaborate with AFEPASA in this groundbreaking partnership that will bring our advanced agri-biological solutions to Europe. Chemical pesticides have often failed due to resistance issues, and biological products do not pose the risk of harmful residues in crops. Our biological products have demonstrated outstanding efficacy in trials and large field demonstrations worldwide. With AFEPASA as our partner, we can swiftly bring our most innovative products to market.”
Manel Montaño, CEO of AFEPASA, said, “This strategic collaboration with IPL Biologicals will enable us to introduce innovative bio-pesticides to European and global markets. By replacing harmful synthetic pesticides with safe biological alternatives, we are prioritising the health of both food consumers and the environment. We are delighted to partner with IPL Biologicals, the global technology leader in agri-biologicals, a company with a promising technology path that we believe will dominate the global agri-biologicals market.”
