About Metagen
Agroecology & Biotechnology

Searching for solutions

through a different lens.

We put agriculture under the microscope to bring a biological perspective to an ecological pursuit. Our mission is to harness the innate power of the microbiome on Australian farms to build a more resilient, productive and sustainable industry.

Biostimulants, Soil Health Programs & Microbial Lab Services
Unlock healthier soils and boost your sugarcane yields with Metagen’s scientifically-proven biostimulant treatments.

Our biostimulants work below ground to activate beneficial microbes, improving phosphorus cycling and nitrogen turnover for stronger, healthier cane. By enhancing soil structure and water infiltration, they support robust root development and sustainable yield gains while minimising nutrient runoff. Click for sugarcane…

Suppress soil-borne diseases in your tree and vegetable crops with Metagen’s science-proven biostimulant solutions.
Our biostimulants boost beneficial microbial populations in the soil, enriching the root-zone microbiome to create a natural barrier against disease. This strengthened microbial community supports healthier growth, delivers more uniform yields, and promotes consistent performance season after season. Click for tree crops or vegetable crops…

Horticulture

Maximise nutrient availability and water-use efficiency across your broadacre crops with Metagen’s targeted biostimulant solutions.
Perfect for broadacre production, Metagen’s biostimulants boost nutrient availability by stimulating microbial nutrient‐release processes and improving soil aggregation. Enhanced water‐use efficiency means your crops stay productive under variable moisture conditions, optimising input use and strengthening drought resilience.

Healthy phytobiomes exhibit greater nutritional efficiency,

measurably reduced carbon footprints and heightened  environmental resilience.

Under every farm lies a buried treasure with the power to change the world. Every handful of soil contains billions of microbial cells belonging to thousands of different species. These native soil residents are the workhorses of the phytobiome; the community of macro and microorganisms living amongst, and contributing to the success of our agricultural ecosystems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can Metagen’s approach be implemented on big farms?

    Large–Scale Capacity

    Yes. Metagen systems are designed for scalability, making them well-suited for large agricultural operations.

  • Will incorporation of biologicals into my system be easy?

    Accessible Biotechnology

    Yes. They are compatible with a wide range of crops and soil types, and easy to apply to diverse farming systems. Our integrated soil health programs also ensure you’re never in the dark about how the system is progressing.

  • Will I see yield increases when adopting ecological solutions?

    Bumper Biomes

    Yes. While initial changes may vary over time, the continuous maintenance of your crop’s microbiome contributes to sustained yield increases due to the improved soil health and nutrient availability driven by a biological system.

  • How will Metagen impact my bottom line?

    Measurable Returns

    If you apply Metagen products consistently, following the recommended use, the Metagen system will improve your ROI profile. Your cost of inputs may be reduced, while yield and crop quality increase, even during periods of environmental stress.
