BASF opened a research and development (R&D) centre for agrochemicals on 28 May at Pune. It has been set up at an estimated cost of Rs 64 crore.
This is the first R&D centre for agrochemicals in India.
Apart from conducting research in areas of global agricultural interest, the centre will also investigate scenarios such as weeds and pests, as well as climate stresses, like drought, flood cycles and heat stress in the country.
The centre will work towards development of new active ingredients, new formulations and technologies. Also, it aims to helps farmers in taking better decisions and improve productivity during the entire cultivation cycle.
