crop care
who plants challenges to harvest solutions? we do.
Our focus is to grow more food on less land by increasing the efficacy, and lowering usage rate, of crop protection and seed treatment products.
crop protection
Ashland’s agriculture specialties business is working to improve both the delivery and the performance of agrochemicals for food and non-food crops, in pre-and post-harvest applications. We offer adjuvants, dispersants, wetting agents, and binders and can work with you on formulations and delivery applications to find solutions that support your needs. Whether you want to improve adhesion, stabilization, suspension, dissolution, or dispersion of herbicides, insecticides or fungicides, Ashland can help tailor a solution. Working with Ashland can lead to crop protection as well as higher yields.
seed treatment
Seed treatments include flowside suspensions and suspo-emulsions to reduce dust hazard, improve formulation stability, and increase adhesion. Ashland scientist can design solvent-based or microcapsule formulations as well as seed treatments with polymer film coatings that help yield higher value seeds. Our offering includes high performance agsolEx™ solvents, agrimer™ polymers and co-polymers, and agrimax™ cellulose ethers, and the use of these products is supported by technical expertise that can help you improve seed performance.
