Understanding a molecule's safety profile early in discovery helps bring better products to farmers faster. Corteva is interested in new approach methodologies, such as in silico models and in vitro assays, that screen for mammalian toxicology, ecotoxicology and environmental fate, and in how these are being tested with regulatory agencies.
AI is moving crop protection discovery from broad screening toward prediction and design. Corteva is interested in AI approaches across R&D, from identifying and designing new molecules and microbial candidates, to speeding up formulation development, to predicting safety early.
Resistant weeds, shifting pest pressure and evolving disease threats keep farmers in need of new tools. Corteva is interested in new chemistries and novel modes of action that deliver effective control at low use rates, with a favorable environmental profile.
Formulation and delivery determine how well an active ingredient performs in the field, from stability and shelf life to how it is retained, taken up and kept on target during application. Corteva is interested in delivery and application systems such as encapsulation and controlled release, lower-dose performance, and potentiators that boost the activity of known actives.
Corteva is interested in nature-derived actives, including bioprotectants and biostimulants, with a particular focus on biocontrol. Because biologicals work through different modes of action than traditional products, they can help reduce resistance and extend the life of both biological and conventional tools.
