About KUZOG

One group, two halves of farming.

KUZOG France is an agricultural-technology group based in Paris. We build two ventures around a single idea: a farm succeeds only when the plant above the soil line and the soil below it are both healthy. Microplantes multiplies disease-free young plants; Hydrobio brings exhausted soil back to life.

Who we are

KUZOG is a Paris agricultural-technology group. Its head office is in Paris and its laboratory is at Boissy-l'Aillerie in the Val-d'Oise (95), where in-vitro production and acclimatation take place. The group is recognised as a Jeune Entreprise Innovante by the French government, a status granted to companies with substantial research and development investment.

We exist because a grower who buys a clean, vigorous plantlet and puts it into compacted, lifeless ground has bought half a solution — and a grower who restores their soil and then plants virus-laden stock has bought the other half. KUZOG is one group so that a farm can fix both at once.

How we work

Science comes before marketing. Hydrobio rests on a filed USPTO patent, with a PCT extension underway, and on HydrobioFormul, a supervised machine-learning engine that turns a soil analysis into a per-parcel formulation. Microplantes rests on meristem-culture sanitation, viral indexing, and lot traceability from mother plant to delivered plant. Every claim on this site traces to a trial, a source, or a stated capacity.

We are built in France and sized for export. Formats and phytosanitary compliance are designed for European and MENA markets from day one, and our trial conditions cover South European and MENA soils.

Who we serve

Hydrobio works with growers, cooperatives and agricultural-input distributors who need soil that holds water and feeds crops again — on high-value crops such as strawberry and apple, on broadacre cereals such as wheat, and particularly on sandy, degraded or water-stressed soils. Microplantes supplies nurseries, growers, breeders and multipliers with non-rooted and rooted vitroplants, acclimated plugs and sanitised mother plants across four crop families: soft fruits, ornamentals, sweet potato and date palm. Both ventures ship internationally in compliance with the phytosanitary requirements of the destination country.

The two ventures

Everything KUZOG does sits on one side of a single line.

Above the soil line

Microplantes

In-vitro micropropagation strips out the viruses that accumulate in conventionally propagated stock, then multiplies what is left into identical, vigorous plantlets. At full capacity the laboratory will produce approximately up to 10 million vitroplants a year — the largest dedicated micropropagation facility in France.

Below the soil line

Hydrobio

A hybrid mineral-biological soil amendment: a micronised mineral matrix that holds water and nutrients, carrying a living mycorrhizal consortium that extends the root system. One application lasts three to five years. Controlled trials measured +47% water retention on sandy soils and +18.7% yield against an untreated control.

Backing and recognition

Public funders, innovation incubators, agronomy schools and entrepreneur networks have financed, hosted or awarded our work. KUZOG is incubated at Paris&Co, holds a €30,000 industrial-innovation grant from the Ville de Paris, was a laureate of the 2025 Open Carca competition, and Hydrobio was named Startup of the Year 2026 by the Rotary Club of Paris. Hydrobio's semi-industrial pilot programme is hosted at the AgroParisTech FarmInnLab incubator.
