Environment & Biodiversity

Today we need to achieve productivity increase without the cultivation of more land, while conserving biodiversity and ecosystem services. Therefore, industry is committed to protect and enhance biodiversity by providing safe crop protection products that support integrated crop management approaches, promoting the uptake of good agricultural practices such as crop rotation and diversification as well as reduced tillage systems.

Carbon Emission

There is a consensus among scientists that ever-increasing carbon dioxide emission is the primary source for climate change.

Is Glyphosate dangerous for bees?

Glyphosate-based products have been extensively tested in the laboratory and in the field to evaluate potential toxicity to honey bees

Pollinators

Pollinators are critical for global ecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Of the 115 leading global crops consumed by humans, 87 are, to some degree, pollinated by insects.

Residues in water

When a plant, an animal, soil, etc. is exposed to or treated with a crop protection product, the substances are taken up and metabolized (“digested”) by the biological system.

What about residues of Glyphosate in food?

Strict guidelines and rules including safety assessments are set by the regulatory authorities worldwide (e.g. U.S. EPA or EFSA)

Why are herbicides essential for modern agriculture?

Every year, up to 40 percent of the world’s potential harvests are lost to damaging pests, including weeds.
