Forge ahead into new markets

Battelle solves agrochemical formulation challenges as a global leader in new innovative formulation technologies for synthetic chemistries and biological/microbial crop protection products. We complement our formulation development excellence with the test and evaluation/assessment of new application technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and precision agriculture, to reduce spray drift and to efficiently use crop protection products.

How We Can Help

PROCESSESRESULTS

Bioformulation

  • Our know-how and IP improve and significantly extend the shelf-life, field efficacy, and ease of application of a wide range of microbes for crop-based protectants or biostimulants.
  • Our experts in agrochemical formulation, advanced materials polymer chemistry and biology find solutions that solve problems for crop protection.
  • We provide microbial formulation development, production & processing and regulatory support to enhance on-shelf and on-seed stability.

Encapsulation

  • Our innovative microencapsulation technology can be adapted for a wide range of products
  • We have an IP portfolio and the expertise needed to provide solutions for formerly incompatible chemistries and ingredients to encapsulate a single shelf-stable product that can be designed and released as needed.

Synthetic Chemistry Formulation

  • Our 40+ years of expertise formulating crop protection products is complemented with internal research and development and cross-disciplinary expertise.
  • We provide experience with all classes of chemistries, a full range of formulation types, seed coatings/dressings, and formulating microbial plant protection products.

Genomics, Proteomics, and Metabolomics

  • Our technical subject matter experts fundamentally understand molecular, cellular and biological pathway organisms to support your product R&D
  • Our breadth of services runs deep with decades of biological, bioscience and agrochemical formulation solutions that provide a full-service solution compared to competitor contract research organizations (CROs).
