Agrochemicals

Since the earliest beginnings of agriculture, humans have been challenged with maximizing agricultural output, while preventing losses due to over-farming, weather, disease, pests, and other adversities. Agricultural chemicals, commonly referred to as agrochemicals (agchem or agrichemicals), are used to protect crops and improve their growth and fertility As the global human population continues to grow, it becomes even more crucial to improve the production and quality of our foods, heightening the importance of fertilizers, both mined from our earth and chemical blends, and pesticides like herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.

Agrochemical producers require robust analytical testing programs that span from research, product development and registration through the production process to final product. Discover PerkinElmer analytical solutions for reliable, quality agrochemical testing.
