Soil is a living system.
Organic matter, moisture, microorganisms and nutrient availability all interact beneath the crop.
AGRICULTURE
Plant chemistry meets the realities of farming.
Rijona's agricultural work explores how neem and other biological materials can contribute to nutrient management, soil health and botanical crop protection — then tests those ideas against the realities farmers face in the field.

OUR AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
Better inputs begin with understanding what happens after they reach the soil.
Fertilizer performance is not determined only by how much nutrient is applied. Timing, soil conditions, biological activity, nutrient losses and the way plants access those nutrients all affect the final result.
This is where neem becomes particularly interesting to us: not simply as a crop or oil source, but as a biological material that can be incorporated into agricultural systems.
NUTRIENT EFFICIENCY
The challenge is not only adding nitrogen — it is keeping more of it available.
Nitrogen fertilizers can lose part of their nutrient value after application through several pathways. Rijona's work with neem-coated urea explores how neem oil can be incorporated into fertilizer management to improve nutrient-use efficiency.
Under Rijona's tested conditions, our neem-coated urea work recorded reductions in nitrogen losses of up to 50% and crop yield improvements of up to 30%. These results reflect the tested conditions and are not presented as guaranteed outcomes for every farm.
01
Nitrogen loss
Nutrient efficiency depends on how much applied
nitrogen remains available to the crop.
02
Coating science
Neem oil is incorporated as a coating around
urea granules in our formulation work.
03
Field validation
Laboratory or formulation logic must ultimately
be tested under real farming conditions.
FROM NEEM TO FIELD
One biological resource. Several agricultural pathways.
The AgriNeemix work spans organic inputs, fertilizer modification, botanical crop care and farmer testing.

HOW WE THINK
Three ideas shape our agricultural work.
Efficiency matters as much as quantity.
Applying fertilizer is only part of the problem. Retaining nutrients and improving their availability matters too.
Botanical resources can play multiple roles.
Neem provides oil, seed cake and biologically active materials that can be explored across different farm applications.
SCIENCE MEETS THE FARM
Farmers complete the research loop.
Formulation is only the beginning. Farmers help us understand whether an input is practical, how it performs under local conditions and what needs to change before wider use.
That is why field engagement is part of Rijona's agricultural development process rather than something that happens only after a product is finished.
50%
Up to this reduction in nitrogen losses was recorded
in Rijona's neem-coated urea testing under tested conditions.
30%
Up to this improvement in crop yield was recorded
under the same tested conditions.
