crop care

who plants challenges to harvest solutions? we do.

crop protection

Ashland is working to sustainably 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.  Whether you want to improve adhesion, stabilization, suspension, dissolution, or the dispersion of herbicides, insecticides or fungicides, our scientific solvers will help you “tune” and customize ingredients to answer your most complex formulation and delivery challenges, tailoring solutions to your very own specific needs. Working with Ashland can lead to greater crop protection and higher yields.

seed treatment

Seed treatments include flowside suspensions and suspo-emulsions to reduce dust hazard, improve formulation stability, and increase adhesion. Ashland scientists are experts that can help design solvent-based or microcapsulated formulations and seed treatments with polymer film coatings that can yield higher value seeds. Our offering includes high performance agsolEx™ solvents, agrimer™ polymers and co-polymers, and agrimax™ cellulose ethers. The use of these products is supported by technical expertise to help you improve seed performance.
