Crop protection chemicals are one of the key inputs for crop protection and better yield during pre-harvest stage. Judicious use of crop protection chemicals supports sustainable farm management and delivers socio-economic benefits to meet the challenges of feeding an ever-growing population. The development of chemicals to protect agricultural crops is an important activity within the chemical industry. Without them, many crops would suffer dramatic losses. Some of these chemicals, the insecticides, are also very important in combating human and animal diseases. The environmental and toxicological properties of these chemicals have improved considerably over the last six decades. FERTAGRO aims to supply chemicals that are not just potent but are specific for the required purpose, whilst not affecting the environment in any other way. Because pests may develop resistance to crop protection chemicals there is a continual need for new products to be developed.
