Value of Innovation

Droplet

When you choose a crop protection product, the active ingredient is only part of what you’re relying on. How that product is formulated, tested and supported can all make a difference to how it handles and performs in the field.

At BASF, we combine science, innovation and agricultural expertise to develop solutions that help growers protect their crops and get the best from every application. Behind our products are years of research, formulation development and field testing, supported by technical expertise throughout their use.

From how a product mixes in the tank, to how it spreads, sticks and reaches its target, every part of the formulation has a job to do.

That’s what’s inside every drop: the science, expertise and ongoing development that help give you confidence in the products you use on your farm.

Quality you can rely on

Our trusted formulations consistently outperform generics. Comet® 200 vs generics in 2026

Comet® 200
Generic
Comet® 200 1.25l/ha

Comet® 200 Generic
Comet® 200 1.25l/ha

Two products may contain the same active ingredient, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will perform in the same way. The quality of the formulation can influence everything from how a product mixes and handles in the sprayer to how consistently it performs in the field.

"While active ingredients remain the cornerstone of crop protection performance, it is the formulation that unlocks their full potential - optimising pathogen control, enhancing coverage and uptake and improving stability."
