About the company
Microbox Group (Microbox Center for Agricultural Microbiology) was established to address full-cycle tasks in the agro-industrial complex, offering innovative product systems and technologies for integrated and organic farming based on microbiological fertilizers and plant protection products. Microbox Group products are marketed under the Nodix brand.

The company operates its own research laboratories and production facilities.
The company regularly participates in exhibitions, conferences, and training seminars.
The implementation of integrated solutions based on microbiological fertilizers and plant protection products under the NODIX trademark (based on live, agronomically valuable cultures of bacteria and microscopic fungi) reduces the chemical load of pesticides on agroecosystems, improves the quality and productivity of agricultural crops, and ensures a healthy and environmentally safe harvest. Microbox offers products and technologies tailored to individual customer requirements, followed by monitoring and performance tracking.
The company's mission is to create highly productive and cost-effective integrated and biological crop cultivation systems for the end consumer that meet the advanced requirements of global scientific development. The company supplies full-cycle products (excluding bioherbicides, which are currently under development) for soil application, seed treatment, protection against diseases and pests, increasing yield and quality of agricultural products, and post-harvest operations.
