Emerging technologies, continuous agronomic innovation and a strong entrepreneurial spirit have shaped the productivity of professional growers for decades.
Today, this landscape is entering a new phase, driven by organisations able to combine global research, local expertise and high-value agronomic solutions – and Huber AgroSolutions is a global leader in biostimulants and advanced plant nutrition, and in application and adjuvant technologies.
Who is Huber AgroSolutions?
Huber AgroSolutions (HAS) is the global agricultural business unit of J.M. Huber Corporation, a US enterprise founded in 1883 and recognised worldwide for its innovations in industrial, consumer and agricultural markets.
HAS develops and produces biostimulants, advanced nutritional solutions and adjuvant technologies, guided by a clear vision to enhance the grower’s ability to sustainably nourish the world.
With R&D centres across three continents, manufacturing sites in Europe, the US and Latin America, and commercial operations in more than 80 countries, HAS is a global pioneer in developing solutions which improve yield, resilience, quality and sustainability in professional crops.
A portfolio built around world‑leading brands
The strength of HAS lies in a multi‑brand platform that integrates complementary expertise.
Two key brands, Biolchim, a global pioneer in biostimulants and advanced plant nutrition and Miller Chemical & Fertiliser, an international leader in plant nutrition, adjuvants, film-forming polymers and application technologies enable HAS to deliver scientifically robust and operationally effective solutions aligned with the purpose to support the professional farmer in achieving and sustaining greater growth.
Huber AgroSolutions in Australia: local presence, long‑term commitment
Australia is one of the world’s most advanced agricultural markets – climatically challenging, technologically mature and characterised by high‑value crops.
For this reason, HAS has invested in a dedicated local office in Australia.
The Australian team is comprised of highly trained agronomists, horticulturalists and crop advisers who provide technical support and product programs designed to help maximise return on investment.
Dominic Scicchitano– HAS country manager leads the Australian business and is supported by David Sides, territory sales manager (Queensland and northern NSW); Hayden Hands, territory sales manager (South Australia and Western Australia); and Gracy Khambhatta, administration and accounts manager.
The Huber AgroSolutions Australian portfolio operates in three strategic segments: biostimulants, advanced plant nutrition and adjuvants & application technologies, commercialising the Biolchim and Miller chemical and fertiliser brands.
Biolchim is globally recognised as a pioneer in biostimulant innovation, with solutions targeted to key physiological stages: rooting, flowering, fruit set, growth, ripening and stress tolerance.
The portfolio includes key brands such as:
Fylloton – A biopromoter of vegetative growth which supports balanced growth and metabolic activity even under environmental stress, thanks to its combination of seaweed extracts and amino acids.
Folicist– A biostimulant of flowering and fruit setting which promotes shoot and floral organ development, supporting uniform fruit set and reducing plant sensitivity to stress.
Kriss – A biopromoter of fruit enlargement which stimulates cell division and expansion through an innovative blend of amino acids and plant extracts, improving final fruit size.
Sunred – A biopromoter of fruit ripening and colour development which enhances pigment synthesis and sugar accumulation during ripening, supporting higher colour intensity and uniformity.
Microfol Combi – An EDTA‑chelated micronutrient mixture designed to prevent and correct major micronutrient deficiencies.
Nov@ – A biopromoter which promotes balanced development, strong root systems and uniform fruit growth – ideal for fertigation programs.
Protamin GR – A controlled‑release organic nitrogen product based on hydrolysed gelatine which improves photosynthesis, plant balance and soil fertility.
Miller Chemical and Fertiliser portfolio: More than 80 years of innovation.
Miller has been solving the tough problems for growers globally and is recognised for:
- High‑performance film‑forming polymers.
- Improving coverage and retention.
- UV protection* of treatments.
- Optimised nutrient absorption technologies designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce waste.
The portfolio includes key brands such as:
Nu-Film P – Film‑forming sticker-spreader adjuvant that increases spray solution leaf coverage, improves retention and enhances rain fastness.
Nu-Film-17 – A UV‑resistant* film-forming adjuvant: its advanced formulation reduces photodegradation of light-sensitive products, increasing application persistence – which can be an essential benefit under strong Australian sunlight.
Cellcal Max – Advanced technology for calcium availability that improves fruit firmness, resistance to calcium-related disorders and shelf-life and post-harvest performance.
C.A.L.F.A. – A proprietary blend of carboxylic acids designed to release tied up soil nutrients, reduce salinity stress and improve overall soil health.
Millerplex – A metabolic kelp-based biostimulant for foliar or soil use which enhances bloom and flower vigour.
Sugar Express – A foliar fertiliser which improves photosynthetic efficiency and carbohydrate availability, promoting fruit filling, colour development and overall quality.
Nutrient Express – A foliar fertiliser which has been carefully formulated to meet the plants nutritional needs across a variety of growth stages.
Vapor Gard – An anti-transpirant designed to protect plants from extreme climatic stress which forms a protective film which reduces water loss during heatwaves, drought stress and dry winds. A technology of increasing relevance in the Australian climate.
Huber AgroSolutions’ vision for the Australian market
The Huber AgroSolutions technologies provide Australian growers with a unique, high‑value portfolio designed to:
- Improve physiological efficiency.
- Increase uniformity and quality.
- Optimise input use.
- Strengthen resilience and stability.
- Deliver value to growers.
“Agriculture is entering a new era where productivity, sustainability and resilience must go hand in hand,” Dominic says.
“At HAS, we are committed to supporting Australian growers with technologies which not only improve performance but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of farming systems,” he says.
“Huber AgroSolutions Australia plays a key role in this journey, and we are excited to grow together with our partners in the years ahead.”
