Protecting and Nurturing the Crop

DuPont is an industry leader in providing crop protection solutions to farmers worldwide that benefit both society and the environment.  The company encourages and supports responsible use of its products through label instructions, training and related programs.

DuPont revolutionized crop protection technology when sulfonylureas, a family of environmentally compatible herbicides, were discovered in 1975 and commercialized in 1982.  SUs are a safe, environmentally preferred weed control choice for farmers. 

DuPont Crop Protection  has made significant progress in its research pipeline, including advancements in the first of a new class of high efficacy, low toxicity insecticides.  A new biotech herbicide resistance trait for corn, soybeans and cotton maximizes yield potential, improves crop safety and expands weed control options.  For additional information, please visit: http://www2.dupont.com/Production_Agriculture/en_US/
