Our comprehensive portfolio of crop protection products assist growers in their continuing battle against insects, diseases and weeds. Our seed breeding expertise and the dedication of our people provide crop and vegetable varieties you can count on for reliability, disease resistance and high yields.

Walk into any major supermarket and you will find a huge range of fresh fruit and vegetables, which is only made possible by using crop protection products. If we stopped using crop protection then food shortages would mean higher prices and far less choice in the food we eat.

Crop protection products keep crops safe from attack by insects, weeds and diseases. But they also help us make better use of scarce resources such as land, water and labour.

By improving productivity on existing farmland we reduce the need for new land to be brought into agricultural production. Crop protection plays an important role in protecting biodiversity by reducing deforestation. Our formulation science ensures our products are effective at very low application rates, ensuring safety.

The benefits of our crop protection products

• They are vital in producing crops of high quality with minimum wastage.
• In some instances, they increase the nutritional value of food, for example fungicide treatment can improve the protein content in cereals.
• Crop protection products ensure food reaches the shops in good condition, but also extends the seasons for a wide range of produce.
