For more than nine decades, KALO has quietly powered the fields of modern agriculture, fairways and other ornamental crops. The Kansas-based company, founded in 1932, made its name by improving how the world's crops grow - improving how crops grow, by creating lasting impact through partners. Its adjuvants and biological enhancers have long carried the logos of other brands, making KALO an invisible backbone of an industry now on the brink of reinvention.
That anonymity is changing. As sustainability, biologicals, and precision agriculture reshape global farming, KALO is stepping forward under new leadership. "What we do is we make agricultural inputs better," says Jon Barrett, the company's incoming president. "Our products make the inputs more efficient and more effective."
