pesticide Logos and Brands
Chemical and biological plant protection products against pests, weeds, and diseases fill the “Pesticide” section. Bayer CropScience (after its 2018 acquisition of Monsanto for $63 billion), Syngenta (ChemChina), BASF Agricultural Solutions, and Corteva Agriscience control the lion’s share of the global pesticide market, valued at over $80 billion. Glyphosate, the world’s best-selling herbicide (under the Roundup brand), has been the subject of thousands of lawsuits alleging its carcinogenicity. The logos in this section mark products that modern industrial agriculture cannot ensure without them, and the debate over the safety of pesticides remains one of the most heated in agrochemistry.
