Seed Treatments
What makes our seed applied technologies unique?
Discovering novel actives
Corteva Agriscience works to discover new actives for seed protection, drawing on the world-class research and the resources of strategic collaborators who are leading seed protection innovations. At our Centre for Seed Applied Technologies (CSAT)—with locations around the world—Corteva screens a diverse range of technologies, looking for new ingredients with the most valuable characteristics and modes of action to meet farmers’ needs.
Developing products to solve challenges
Among the hundreds of possible product combinations we evaluate, Corteva only brings seed treatments to market that are proven to solve on-farm challenges. Every product formulation is thoroughly tested in the lab and in the field to get a complete understanding of its characteristics and benefits, and ensure it performs to expectations.
Developing support
Corteva seed treatment products help plants reach their full genetic potential and add value to seed. Products are supported by our team of scientists dedicated to seed-applied technology and our rigorous six-step PASSER process which evaluates every formulation for plantability, application, seed safety, stewardship, efficacy and regulatory factors to ensure the highest-quality seed protection.
