Product focus:
Better turf comes from better science. As the world’s leading chemical company, BASF invests millions in R&D each year, applying for 1,000 patents a year and literally creating innovations on a daily basis. These investments eventually help lawn care operators control their customers’ pests more efficiently, which improves customer satisfaction and increases profit.
