developed and today, the firm is a leader
in this segment, with a wide diversity of
formulation technologies that adapt to
specific market needs. Within biologicals,

segments where the firm participates
actively. At the same time, strategic alliances
with renowned companies expanded the
company’s portfolio to include crop protection
and specialty nutrition technologies. Whether

contribution of biological nitrogen fixation
to agricultural systems as a key tool to
reduce carbon footprint in food production.

legume plants fixing atmospheric nitrogen
and eliminating the need to add chemical
nitrogen fertilizers. In terms of its seed-
applied solutions, the company has specific
technologies that adapt to each segment,
covering a wide array of grain and pasture
crops, whether it is an upstream application
made by seed companies or an on-farm use.
