Andermatt PHP products are distributed globally by Andermatt Group Companies.
Andermatt PHP (previously known as Plant Health Products) is a South African company specializing in research and development, and mass production of biological products consisting of fungi and bacterial active ingredients.
As part of the Swiss-based Andermatt Group, a global leader in the biocontrol industry, we supply our Andermatt partners worldwide with product and technical support.
Biological products are made from living organisms or their natural by-products.
They include beneficial microbes, plant extracts, biopesticides, and biofertilizers that support crop growth and protection in natural ways.
Conventional synthetic chemical products are made through industrial chemical reactions, while biologicals rely on biological processes and natural interactions with plants and soil.
Biologicals work with nature by enhancing soil microbes, improving plant health, or naturally suppressing pests. Chemical products act directly by killing or inhibiting pests, weeds, or pathogens through chemical toxicity or providing nutrients in mineral form.
When used correctly, biological products can be as effective as chemicals, but they often work best as preventive or supportive tools. Proper application and timing are essential for optimal results.
Chemicals, on the other hand, are typically faster-acting and less selective, which can affect both pests and non-target organisms.
In practice, many farmers use both together in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, combining the strengths of biologicals and chemicals for sustainable crop protection.
Yes. Because they contain living organisms, biological products are usually sensitive to heat, light, and moisture. Follow the instructions on the packaging to ensure the viability of the product.
Yes, our products are designed to meet organic farming standards and are audited by EcoCert under NOP and OECD standards to ensure compliance.
Yes, when produced under controlled conditions and purified properly. Strict regulatory standards ensure that these products meet safety, purity, and efficacy requirements before being approved for use in pharmaceuticals, food, or agriculture.
