Crop Protection

Nufarm’s innovative crop protection solutions solve particular pain points for farmers and support more sustainable farming practices, boosting farmers’ productivity and profitability and aiding food security. For example:

 

  • Our patented DROPZONE® technology combines science and our formulation expertise to achieve more precise application, which limits drift and off-target impacts, to the benefit of farmers, their fields and surroundings.

 

  • Oxbow®, part of the Nufarm phenoxy herbicide portfolio, is effective on weeds that have become resistant to other herbicides – a major challenge to farmers in many key grain growing regions.

 

  • Nufarm’s Carnadine®, a broad spectrum insecticide containing the active acetamiprid, offers an effective alternative to less sustainable competitor products.

 

On top of our range of strong foundational chemistry, we’re constantly seeking and developing new innovations. 

Through our biologicals platform, we are identifying novel pipeline programs and new molecules, and finding new technologies to improve the performance of active ingredients in agrichemicals.

Our emerging solutions platform is finding alternative solutions to chemical-based weed control and crop desiccation, to reduce the chemical load on the environment which will become increasingly important in supporting countries transitioning away from synthetic crop protection.

Solutions across our Seeds and Crop Protection platforms.

Seeds

Nufarm’s innovative seeds solutions help protect the world’s natural resources and empower farmers with new economic opportunities. For example:

 

  • Our omega-3 canola – the world’s first plant-based source of omega-3 for human nutrition and animal feed – takes the pressure off the world’s wild fish stocks and oceans and can double the world’s supply of omega-3, essential for good health.

 

  • Our carinata and energy cane are supplying sustainable biomass feed stocks for the rapidly growing biofuels industry as the push to decarbonize transport intensifies and initiatives to strengthen fuel security gain momentum.

 

We’ve developed seed varieties across Canola, Sunflower, and Sorghum​, optimised to meet the adverse demands growers face in the 21st century.

We’re helping remove atmospheric carbon and regenerate soil. All while growing a sustainable bioenergy source that reduces emissions when used to replace fossil fuels.
