FCI Trade Summit PREVIEW: New Formulation Science Symposium

Formulation ScienceFormulation technology is one of the most innovative sectors in the crop protection industry today. Adjuvant technology must support emerging business and agronomic challenges around the world. Resistance management, water use, product optimization, tank mixing and combination product are just a few of the agronomic challenges that formulation science must address to keep farmers productive, profitable and safe. Add the need for sustainable delivery systems to match low-use active substances, spray-drift reduction and product stabilization, and it becomes clear that formulation optimization is as critical as the active ingredients themselves.

On the business side, more innovation in this space helps to differentiate products in the marketplace and offers retailers and farmers solutions for their grower clients and the communities they serve. This differentiation has become crucial for businesses looking to make inroads in developed agriculture economies as yield plateaus have forced growers to manage area more closely than ever before. In emerging economies, these newer technologies will leapfrog decades of incremental advances to meet the environmental and trade scrutiny of the modern era.

The demand for innovative formulations falls to a handful of companies in this space with resources and expertise to address both the agronomic needs of today’s growers and the business needs of the value chain.

Formulation Science Symposium, Aug. 27, Las Vegas
Farm Chemicals International developed its Formulation Science brand to highlight the technical and commercial innovations by these companies and celebrate the process and products that enable tomorrow’s agriculture systems to feed a burgeoning population in the decades to come. Without an explosion of new active substances for crop protection or new agronomic systems, heightened production falls to the optimization of the technologies and systems we already have.

Our inaugural Formulation Science Symposium will discuss the socioeconomic, agronomic and commercial factors forcing the development of innovative formulation, and will highlight how companies are responding to agriculture’s challenges and opportunities throughout the Americas and around the world.
