FarmHannong is making a leap forward as a global green
bio company through consistent challenges and innovations

R&D Status

Providing green bio solutions
for a more abundant tomorrow

FarmHannong concentrates on strengthened R&D capacities to offer the best products and distinguished farming solutions.
We will continuously expand investments in R&D and contribute to making farming easier and more convenient, and to create a healthier and more abundant world.

Crop protection
We are researching convenient, safe and high-activity crop protection products. Currently, we have developed new molecule such as non-selective herbicide 'Terrad'or', horticultural insecticide 'Bistrifluron', and rice herbicide 'Metamifop' which have global competitiveness. Our outstanding technical capabilities have been globally recognized by successful registration and launch of these crop protection products in many countries. We are focusing on strengthening the competitiveness of conventional businesses and exploring new business opportunities based on our leading research and development capabilities in the market.
Seed
We are developing high-value breeds with unique traits based on our extensive breeding experience and latest bioengineering technologies. We have developed the functional cabbage with high beta-carotene content ‘Beta Fresh’, Korea’s first new functional breeds with disease resistance such as ‘Dangdanghan’ Watermelon that uses genetic male sterility(GMS), the melon necrotic spot virus(MNSV) breed ‘Sonata Power’ Melon. We will continue to take the lead in superior breeds such as disease and pest-resistant functional breeds and high-quality high-yield breeds.
Fertilizer
We are focusing on research on eco-friendly special fertilizers optimized for crops and soil, such as controlled release fertilizer(CRF) and water soluble fertilizer(WSF). Following the Korean first 100% controlled release fertilizer ‘Sideband at Once’, which is 100% coated with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potassium, we are developing innovative products such as Korean first photodegradable CRF to reduce fertilizer use, labor-saving, and protect the environment.
