Managing pests
Insects cause significant damage to crops in every part of the world, with estimates that between 20 and 40 percent of global crop production is lost to insects, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. In addition, pests vary by region and are constantly evolving and migrating. At Corteva Agriscience, we are focused on providing farmers with the right tools to help them control insects sustainably to protect their crops and land.
