{{langnf|fi|Apulanta|artificial fertilizer|i=no}} is a Finnish rock band, founded in 1991 when its members were in their mid-teens.

In September 2009, Apulanta members established an independent label, Päijät-Hämeen Sorto ja Riisto ("Päijänne Tavastian Oppression and Exploitation").{{Cite web|url=http://www.noise.fi/uutiset/?id=10961|title=Uusi levy-yhtiö – Päijät-Hämeen Sorto ja Riisto|first=Tero|last=Kallio|date=2009-09-30|publisher=noise.fi|language=Finnish|accessdate=2011-06-16}} Since its beginnings, the label has so far gotten one artist, pop singer Kaija Koo in the summer of 2010.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mtv3.fi/viihde/uutiset/musiikki.shtml/1146365/apulannan-pojat-nappasivat-kaija-koon-levy-yhtioonsa|title=Apulannan pojat nappasivat Kaija Koon levy-yhtiöönsä|first=Ann-Mari|last=Leinonen|date=2010-06-20|publisher=Bonnier Group|language=Finnish|accessdate=2011-06-16}} In February 2011, they revealed that they had a new prospective artist in the label, though not disclosing their name.{{Cite web|url=http://www.voice.fi/index.php?mw=Apulanta+P%C3%A4ij%C3%A4t-H%C3%A4meen%20Sorto%20ja%20Riisto+&option=com_sbsarticle&tmpl=blog&cid=23595&cat=1|title=Uusi artisti kiikarissa Apulannan levy-yhtiöön|first=Eeva|last=Rajala|date=2011-02-09|publisher=The Voice|language=Finnish|accessdate=2011-06-16}}
