Research & Development

Products protecting crops from grasses, insects, and diseases are some of the most regulated outcomes in the world. Therefore, it’s necessary to show that new stock is secure for the environment, workers, food, and crops

We approach farming challenges using various technologies within six areas of research. Our innovation centers on chemicals or seed treatment, natural quality breeding, and genetic modification.

Every new agricultural seed is developed through an exact process to ensure that it can be used securely and sustainably, taking up to 13 years.

We research into many areas – from restraining insects from planting breeding. Our analysis helps farmers grow crops successfully year after year, whether we are developing products to protect crops or improving seeds to make plants more resilient.

During the seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be defended from grasses, insects, diseases, dehydration, cold, flood, and heat. As a world marketing leader in crop protection, we help farmers to counter these threats and ensure safe enough, nutritious, affordable food for all – while minimizing the use of land and other agricultural inputs.

High-quality seeds assure better and more fertile crops, which is why farmers spend on them. Advanced seeds help decrease risks such as disease and dehydration and support farmers to raise food accepting less water, less land, and fewer inputs.
