Corteva
Corteva, Inc. (also known as Corteva Agriscience) is an American company devoted to products for seeds and crop protection, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and biologicals (natural herbicides) that are sold in 110 countries. The company's name combines "cor" (Latin for "heart") with "teva" (an ancient word for nature). It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Corteva sells a large portion of their seeds under the Pioneer Hi-Bred International brand.
The company was formed in March 2018 as a subsidiary of DowDuPont. In June 2019, DowDuPont completed the corporate spin-off of the company and Corteva became a public company.
In February 2020, Corteva ceased production of the pesticide chlorpyrifos due to declining sales after the product was linked to neurological problems in children and following bans in the European Union and some US states.
In March 2023, the company acquired Stoller Group, a maker of natural pesticides for $1.2 billion. It also acquired Symborg, an expert in microbiological technologies based in Murcia, Spain. This was part of an overall strategy to grow and strengthen an emerging biologicals product porfolio.
In November 2024, the company partnered with BP to develop a low carbon intensive bio-feedstock for the production of aviation biofuel.
Also in November 2024, the company acquired the naming rights to the Indiana Farmers Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
In 2025, the company introduced Forcivo, a fungicide for corn and soybeans containing flutriafol, azoxystrobin, and fluindapyr and targeting tar spot, southern rust, and frogeye leaf spot.
In September 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported the company was exploring a breakup that would separate its seed and pesticide businesses.
