Seed and Fertilizer Coloration
____________________________________
Agro colorants, including EPA-compliant pigments, are used for the coloration of seed, seed treatment, seed coating and fertilizer. Agro colorants help differentiate seed and fertilizer with different formulations or concentration levels and increase safe handling of agro chemical products.
Light Stability and Weather Resistance
____________________________________
Our light and thermal stabilizers for agricultural greenhouse polyethylene films, silage bags and bale wrap films extend durability of agricultural plastics even in the presence of high UV radiation and agricultural chemicals.
Plant Growth Management
____________________________________
Our products enhance plant development and maximize yield by improving plant nutrition and soil fertility. Ciba micronutrients replace key soil elements that major N-P-K fertilizers usually don’t replenish.
A red luminescent additive for agricultural films that shifts light from the UV part of the spectrum to visible light used by crops for photosynthesis. These photoselective additives can boost growth of flowers such as roses.

Controlled Degradation
____________________________________
Degradable films are an efficient and economical solution for thin film application such as mulch film and row covers.
Soil Stabilization
____________________________________
Ciba’s polyacrylamide-based soil stabilizers increase water infiltration and reduce soil erosion caused by wind and water.
Water Retention
____________________________________
Our water absorbing polymers aid water management by improving water retention ensuring the best use is made of the water resources available. Improved water retention result in reduced drainage loss, less frequent watering and improved plant growth.
