After a successful launch in 2017, AgChem & Technology Europe will return for its 2nd annual event in London on 20-21 November 2018.

As Europe is the most regulated continent within agriculture, the AgChem & Technology congress will focus on novel approaches to agrochemicals within R&D, formulation and application departments. With emphasis on producing sustainable products and addressing how EU regulations are impacting the industry.

Smart formulation technologies are now key, especially as fewer active ingredients are being approved within Europe. This has caused a shift towards the use of multiple active ingredients and  more complex formulations. With a growing population, the agricultural industry requires large volumes of agrochemicals. Therefore, innovation within R&D for new active ingredients is essential to moving forward.

The AgChem & Technology Congress will bring together peers researching active ingredients innovation, incorporating biologicals into combination pesticides and developing emerging application science such as AgTech.

Key experts who contributed to the agenda and research include representatives from: Bayer AG, Corteva AgriScience, Syngenta, Croda, ISAA and many more.

AgChem & Technology – addressing the most pressing and intriguing questions within the industry!

The event will be split into two tracks: R&D of Active Ingredients and Formulation & Application Technologies.  Key focus will be on:

• how to move forward with producing new pesticides in a highly regulated space
• tackling pesticide resistance
• how to approach innovation and develop and find new mode of action targets
• formulating chemical and biological actives
• how to approach overcoming spray drift
• implementing and regulating new application technology
