Innovation Sites 2024

BASF's Innovation Sites across Australia enable the development, testing and demonstration of BASF products under a range of conditions and soil types. Each year, hundreds of demonstration plots are coordinated and conducted by our agronomy team and industry partners to ascertain best practices, environmental based performance criteria and ideal application rates for products. This information helps ensure agronomists and growers get the best out of our crop solutions.

BASF Field Walks will be back in 2024 - stay tuned for information!
