BASF develops solutions with the farmers, for the farmers

When we interact with our customers, we experience their passion for farming. Farmers produce food for our nation and with the growing population, farming has become increasingly important to ensure a sustainable future

As a farmer, you face many challenges every day, therefore, to manage your farm successfully you need:

It’s all in the packaging

Farmers need the right solutions to get their everyday work done. This includes having the right packaging for all of their crop protection products (CPP). Encouraging safer and more efficient use of crop protection products is one of BASF’s top priorities.

To achieve this goal, BASF agronomists asked farmers to assist in developing a new packaging system, which became Eco packaging. It aims to simplify farmers’ work by allowing them to handle CPP's in a safe and efficient Eco canister – an innovative and sustainable solution.

The advantages for the farmers and the environment are manifold: With the new Eco packaging system, the farmer’s risk of coming into contact with a product is reduced significantly. The easy handling design enables a more efficient use of the crop protection product. At the same time, farmers save up to 25 percent of their working time spent on opening and emptying the canister.

An eco-efficiency analysis proves the advantages of the new containers for both the farmer and the environment. The new Eco packaging system is significantly more environmentally friendly than other existing packaging solutions.

Did you know?

Once the eco-bottle has been fully launched in Europe, the annual volume of greenhouse gas emissions caused by crop protection containers will be reduced by approximately 2 000 metric tons of CO2 equivalents. That equates to the amount of CO2 that 80 000 trees can absorb from the atmosphere annually.

The BASF packaging system

Opening in the middle• Pours without spraying or glugging• Empties faster• Empties completely• Easier to rinse

Special cap• Integrated seal• Eliminates induction sealing• Safer and easier to open

Flexible handle• Ergonomically shaped• Easy to grab in any position

Embossed logo• Sign of BASF quality• Guarantee of original product• Protects you from imitations

Reliability to secure the best result:

• Long residual efficacy• Duett® Ultra stays effective to

protect the plant against new infections and spread of disease

• This allows for effective disease control and a healthy plant if favourable conditions for disease prevail

For sustainable farm management:

• Resistance management - The two active ingredients control the fungus at different stages of fungus metabolism (dual action) which supports good resistance management practices

Peace of mind with excellent foliar disease control:

• Duett® Ultra works across a wide spectrum of diseases• Maize: Effective control of grey

leaf spot, northern leaf blight and rust in maize

• Other Crops: Wheat - brown/leaf rust, powdery mildew, speckled leaf blotch, glume blotch, stem rust, yellow rust and stripe rust Groundnut - early leaf spot, leaf blotch/web spot and rust

• Excellent preventive and curative control• Stops the development of fungal

infections already on the plant

• Fast action: Quick uptake and acropetal systematic movement through the leaves, result in rapid effects

Protect your investment by harnessing the power of Duett® Ultra to extinguish the onslaught of foliar disease

HiStick® & RhizoFlo®

Get the best return on investment with a unique packaging and formulation • Our unique packaging system allows

oxygen transfer which ensures the Rhizobia remain viable for longer periods. This guarantee of high cell numbers to every seed results in yield increases above conventional products• When inoculated seeds are

planted, the Rhizobium cells on the seed surface multiply and penetrate the young emerging root to form nodules which fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it to ammonia

• The ammonia is subsequently converted to amino acids and proteins by the plant, which increases crop yields and seed protein levels

• Improved nitrogen status in the soil for subsequent crops

Clearfield® is the only complete herbicide-tolerant sunflower system offering selective post-emergent grass and broadleaf weed control. Therefore, it helps you to get the toughest weeds out of your fields and off your mind — protecting your return on investment in comparison to traditionally grown crops. The Clearfield® Production System delivers efficient, long-lasting weed control, crop quality and global market acceptance. From seed to harvest, you’ll have the power to get the most out of every hectare

Advantages of Clearfield®

• Clearfield® Production System maximizes ROI It’s no secret that in order to increase yields and

profits, you have to eliminate weed competition

in your field and in your grain

With the Clearfield® Production System, you

can do just that. High-quality hybrids and

excellent residual weed control produce crops

that reward you with higher yield quality

• Crop Innovation growers trust The Clearfield® Production System is a

herbicide-tolerant system recognized as

non-transgenic (non-GMO) by international

Clearfield® Production System

The Clearfield® commitment to stewardship

BASF is committed to delivering a top-quality Clearfield® Production System that helps deliver maximum yield potential and remains effective for the long term. Stewardship guidelines exist for both the seed and chemistry, ensuring high seed quality and purity, as well as adequate crop tolerance to Euro-Lightning® herbicide

For the product stewardship, key agronomic practices need to be followed:

1. Utilise crop rotation2. Use herbicides with different modes

of action. Do not solely rely on ALS-inhibiting herbicides, such as the Euro-Lightning®, for more than two out of four years, unless other weed-control practices are implemented on target weed species

3. Properly manage weeds in crop-fallow rotation

4. Properly control volunteer Clearfield® plants
