Soil health is a significant concern in modern agricultural practices, which include adopting improved agronomic practices, using lower volumes of more efficient crop protection products, and directly managing the soil.
Introduced in 2023, SURFOM® 9115 not only helps farmers overcome periods of drought but also reduces water consumption in irrigated areas. It is biodegradable and biocompatible, enhancing water penetration in hydrophobic soils, improving horizontal water distribution in the soil profile, and helping retain water near the roots for longer periods.
Available from 2024, SURFOM® 5015 with renewable EO has great potential for reducing value chain emissions, especially our customers' Scope 3 emissions. The product also has a blend, SURFOM® 8963, that works as a high-load herbicide formulation, allowing reductions in field dosage and packaging usage. This represents a 40.2% reduction in CO2e emissions in logistics and reverse logistics in the agro chain.
