Fertilizers
The focus is on dedication to the development of
adjuvants - compounds and technologies that
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of
applications, foliar fertilizers, organominerals
and biofertilizers.
In 2022, 163 R&DI Fertilizer projects were carried
out, focusing on formulation improvements, new
products in the portfolio, approval of new
materials and suppliers, in addition to material
reindustrialization processes.
We can also highlight, in RD&I Fertilizers:
► Improvement of knowledge and experience
in different types of formulations.
Increase in the team's degree of specialization.
► Investment in new equipment to evaluate
the performance of the portfolio's
formulations, as well as in the development

costs and optimize processes.
Agronomic R&D
Focusing on plant improvement and
development actions and on agronomic
projects in partnership with external entities

To reinforce this R&DI framework, in 2022 we
established the Innovation Policy and criteria
for evaluating new technologies, focused on
evaluating research, development and
innovation projects. With this, we want to
further foster a culture of innovation
throughout the Company, including
encouraging all areas to generate and bring
new ideas.
Finally, it is important to highlight that we
maintain more than 170 strategic partnerships
with more than 140 research centers,
universities, associations and specialized
consultants, who have helped us in hundreds
of field researches, carried out with different
products and in different cultures, and continue
to provide relevant contributions in the
validation of laboratory and field tests, in
different
conditions
