ABOUT HYGROTECH’S HISTORY
HYGROTECH was created in 1984, and originated from a company called Roode Lyon, which was well known in the vegetable seed and agricultural industries of South Africa. Hygrotech pioneered the development of F1 hybrids in the SA vegetable industry, hence the name stands for:
• HY – HYBRID
• GRO – GROWING
• TECH – TECHNOLOGY
Hygrotech became a multi-dimensional broad based organization with a diverse range of products promoted, marketed and sold to all levels of Horticulture and Agriculture providing supplementary and complimentary products to its core business of vegetable and grass and pasture seeds with strong emphasis on Sustainable Solutions which became part of our logo and brand.
Hygrotech’s product mix is currently made up of 45% vegetable seeds, 10% grass and pasture seeds and 45% FertAgchem - soluble fertilizers, plant manipulators, adjuvants, green and brown manure, bio-fumigants, disinfectants and “soft” fungicides.
