Agricultural Division

The primary focus of OR-CAL’s Agricultural Division is in the various niche markets that are often overlooked and ignored by the larger chemical companies who consider them uninteresting, unimportant, and low priority due to their relatively smaller size. Growers, nevertheless, in these smaller markets experience the same types of serious challenges in managing insects and disease as growers in the larger row crop markets. OR-CAL’s mission is to champion this cause for the niche grower and develop innovative, cost effective, efficacious solutions to the problems growers face in these smaller markets. These solutions often manifest themselves in unique product labeling/end use registrations; formulation development that either enhances the efficacy of the product or lowers the cost of application; or in unique packaging that either makes the product easier to use or serves to extend product shelf life. Finding solutions to these and many other problems faced by growers of niche markets is what OR-CAL is all about.
