BASF Agricultural Solutions and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) have extended their scientific collaboration named “Optimizing Management for Reduction of Greenhouse Gases in Rice” (“OPTIMA Rice”) to further advance sustainable rice cultivation, targeting reductions of methane and other greenhouse gases.

BASF Agricultural Solutions is investing a low double-digit million-euro amount in a new Climate Center at its head­quarters in Limburgerhof, Germany. The purpose-built facility will strengthen the company’s research and regulatory capabilities and support the generation of scientific data required for the registration of crop protection products worldwide.

BASF Agricultural Solutions has begun the registration process for Replexor™ Active (fendioxypyracil), a novel herbicide active ingredient from its protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) innovation pipeline with broad-spectrum activity on both broadleaf weeds and grasses. 

Adapzo^® Active, BASF Agricultural Solutions’ latest fungicide innovation, was designated a new and distinct mode of action by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC). Chemically known as flufenoxadiazam, the active ingredient is the industry’s first histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and the sole representative of the newly established “FRAC Group Code 56”.

BASF Agricultural Solutions has successfully commissioned its BioHub, a new fermentation plant for biological and biotechnology-based crop protection products, at the Ludwigshafen site.
