Wonder no more, farmers and industry, the new DowDuPont agriculture company has a name, and it’s Corteva Agriscience.
As part of the DowDupont merger, the company plans to spin-off a standalone agriculture company, which would include DuPont Crop Protection, DuPont Pioneer, and Dow AgroSciences, by June 1, 2019. The intended company will be named Corteva Agriscience.
The name Corteva (kohr-‘teh-vah) is derived from a combination of words meaning “heart” and “nature”, according to DowDuPont.
The new company will offer seed technology under the Pioneer and Mycogen brands, as well as a newly announced brand, Brevant. Crop protection options, such as those with the Arylex active will also continue to be available.
