Striving To Deliver Innovative Solutions To Growers

BASF has traditionally led the way in the search for new active ingredients to combat fungal diseases in cultivated plants. Over the years, our products have consistently set new standards.

Insecticides are essential tools for controlling insect pests and therefore, improving the quality of life for humans, domestic animals and livestock. BASF offers a broad portfolio of innovative solutions to customers around the world in the agricultural, turf, ornamental, professional pest and and public health segments.

Weeds reduce the yield and quality of valuable commercial crops, ornamentals, forestry, and turf grass. Weeds also damage crops and other landscapes in a secondary way, serving as hosts for a variety of insects and fungi. In industrial settings, weeds interfere with the safety and management of utilities, highways, railways, runways and waterways.

Biological control agents such as biological fungicides and biological insecticides help reduce the damage caused by diseases and pests including fungi, insects and slugs.

Growers’ most pressing challenges today center on improving yield while managing resources: doing more with less. In addition to protecting crops against pests and disease, growers must optimize yields and plant health by managing through environmental stresses while meeting evolving societal expectations of agriculture.

Developing new products is time-consuming and expensive. That’s because every new product has to both safely and effectively control weeds, insects or diseases.

We are supporting three high school students to find out if plant cuttings will grow in space. Their experiment on the ISS will bring insights and inspiration for new ways and places to grow food.
