Innovation Cases
Under the theme of protecting and fostering life and nature through creative science, we contribute to the realization of
a sustainable society, centering on our Agriculture Chemical-related Business that supports food production.
On this page, we would like to introduce some examples of innovations that have emerged from our technology.
Axeev
AXEEV
AXEEV (active ingredient name: pyroxasulfone) is a field and turf herbicide registered for major crops worldwide, including corn, soybean, and wheat, and is highly effective against a wide range of weeds as well as herbicide-resistant weeds, which have become a global problem. AXEEV is sold in major markets around the world and is a blockbuster product.
Effeeda
Effeeda
Effeeda (active ingredient name: fenquinotrione) is a highly effective rice herbicide that is effective against a wide range of weeds, including herbicide resistant weeds and broadleaf weeds that are difficult to control. It is a highly versatile rice herbicide that also exhibits extremely high safety for paddy rice.
MAMETSUBU
MAMETSUBU
MAMETSUBU is a water-surface application formulation for rice developed independently by Kumiai Chemical Industry. As the granules are larger and lighter than regular granules, they self-diffuse while floating on the surface of the water, spreading the active ingredients throughout the paddy field in a short period of time. A major feature of the MAMETSUBU formulation is that it can be applied in a labor-saving manner without entering the rice paddies.
Microbial Pesticide
Microbial pesticides
Microbial pesticides are products with excellent safety and low environmental impact, developed by focusing on useful microorganisms that commonly exist in the natural world and using proprietary technologies.
This product is not counted in the number of ingredients used in special cultivation and conforms to the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) for organic agricultural products.
