Research and Development (R&D) Agri-Starts, Inc began in 1999. It is committed to improving the existing technologies of today while embracing those of the future. Our research strategy is driven by the global competition of producing standard crops more efficiently and new crops more frequently. We are using the sciences of cold storage and UV water sterilization, a greater understanding of in vitro conditions, irradiation-induced mutations, new crop production protocols, and even knowledge of fern life cycles as tools for commercial success. Current biotech investigations at Agri-Starts, inc. are with semi-automated liquid production systems development, crop initiations through somatic embryogenesis, phytochemical production via nutraceuticals, and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The Research and Development program will help us maintain our role as an industry leader, as well as offer even greater potential for future growth! All of our companies are committed to offering quality plants and superior service. Each Agri-Starts company is individually owned and operated, therefore orders and payments should be made to the respective facility.
