Dow AgroSciences congratulates a key customer on winning one of the U.S. government’s top environmental honors with a product containing spinosad insecticide developed and manufactured by Dow AgroSciences. Clarke is recognized for developing novel, patent-pending plaster matrix formulations that provide longer residuality. The active ingredient in Natular has been granted “Reduced Risk” status for use as a mosquito larvicide, and four formulations have been listed in the OMRI Products List (Organic Materials Review Institute) directory of products for organic production.

 “We congratulate Clarke on this impressive accomplishment as they are truly meeting the needs of their customers by providing the first new larvicide in nearly three decades,” says Tim Hassinger, vice pesident, Crops Global Business Unit, Dow AgroSciences. “By bringing our teams together early in this project, it is rewarding to see that the results of this collaboration on Natular will positively impact the quality of life by reducing the impact of mosquito infestations.” 

Dow AgroSciences is familiar with the Green Chemistry Award, as the company has won four Green Chemistry Awards since 1999, more than any other agricultural company.
