About us

It is our mission to provide innovative crop protection and seed enhancement technologies, enabling the agricultural community to improve agricultural yields and contribute to global food security.

Our biobased and low-carbon delivery systems help to improve agricultural yields whilst minimising environmental impact. We help optimise land and crop input utilisation via our adjuvants, delivery systems, and seed technologies, and support the transition to regenerative agriculture practices through our range of sustainable, innovative solutions.

Adjuvants and coformulants

We provide sustainable delivery systems for agrochemical active ingredients, both chemical and biological-based. Our high-performance formulation aids and novel range of adjuvants mean that you can accomplish even the most challenging formulations.

Seed enhancement

Our solutions improve the resilience and performance of seeds and decrease the need to use plant protection products. Focusing on vegetable and field crops, our seed technologies improve germination, stimulate the healthy development of seeds and seedlings, and increase crop yield.

Seed enhancement

Enhancing the quality of the seed gives crops the best chance of reaching their full genetic yield potential. This can be done by stimulating their growth and development and protecting them from biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pests, disease, and adverse growing conditions.

As part of Croda Agriculture, seed enhancer Incotec, specializes in developing and using seed technologies to improve the performance and resilience of seeds. These technologies include seed pelleting, encrusting, film coating, priming, upgrading, and seed hygiene.

Biostimulants

At the forefront of plant science, we develop advanced chemical biostimulants that work in harmony with natural plant processes. Designed to support existing crop protection programs, our solutions help improve crop quality, boost yields, and extend shelf life.

By supporting or regulating plant responses, our biostimulants promote healthier growth—even under stress—ensuring crops perform well in both ideal and tough conditions.
