CROP PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT BUSINESS

Our enduring aim is to support agriculture in meeting the growing global demand for abundant, nutritious, safe, and affordable food.
 
Today, there are over 7 billion people in the world, and by 2050, the number will reach 9.7 billion. However, arable land will not increase at the same pace. This means farmers will need to produce 70% more food on less land than before. Agricultural productivity per unit area must increase to ensure a stable food supply to feed the growing population in the world. In this context, it is necessary to incorporate improved production methods, new technologies, and strengthened crop varieties in balance with the use of various crop protection products.
 
Crop Protection
 
Our portfolio of conventional, biologically-based, and organic crop-protection solutions provides proven and dependable herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide products. Our solutions offer buyers superior weed, insect, and disease control options, delivering measurable value to both food producers and consumers.
 
Seed Treatment
 
Seed treatments help enhance stand establishment and get seedlings off to a healthy start, thereby maximizing crop success. Such treatments provide early-season control of seed and seedling pathogens in soybeans, corn, cotton, and wheat. Treatments protect seeds during the crucial early development stages, thereby helping to prevent irreversible damage from early-season pests, including insects, diseases, and nematodes.
 
Soil Health
 
Crop health begins with healthy soil. A nourishing growing medium is critical to successful agriculture, horticulture, and forestry industries. Our mycorrhizal soil inoculants accelerate plant performance by increasing the surface-absorbing area of roots, producing a healthier root system. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots to create a symbiotic root-and-mycelial network within the surrounding soils, thus increasing efficiency in nutrient and water absorption. Optimizing plant hardiness with improved soil health maximizes plant success and improves a return on investment.
