BRIEF HISTORY OF POST PATENTS • Evolution of Post-Patent Markets; Approximate Introduction to Market: • Row Crop AG – 1970’s – 1980’s • T&O – Late 1990’s • PCO – Late 1990’s • IVM – Late 1990’s – early 2000’s • ST – Mid- 2000’s 10

POST PATENT MARKET DYNAMICS • Post- patent access to TGAI’s (active ingredients): • Post-Patent Companies registrations begin in the 1970’s • Traditional Distribution accessing active ingredients and obtaining registrations • Chinese and Indian companies have been and will continue to obtain active ingredients registrations. Additionally, MUP’s and EP’s 11

POST PATENT MARKET DYNAMICS • Global Dynamics: • Traditional sources of post patent active ingredients have been in Asia • Supply quality • Supply reliability • Will impact of US Tariffs and changing environmental regulatory schemes push synthesis back to the US? 12

CURRENT OVERVIEW & TRENDS • Current and future trends and associated challenges: • Resistance • Access to multiple TGAI’s; Implication for post -patent manufacturers • New Synthetic Auxin Traits • Biologicals / Biostimulants • Adjuvants – New Technology & “in can” applications • Precision Agriculture • Regulatory Pressure • Organic Markets • H 2 O 13

RESISTANCE • Herbicide Resistant Weeds by MOA Worldwide 1 : • 23 Herbicide Groups • Dominated by ALS Inhibitors, Photosystem II Inhibitors, ACCase Inhibitors, EPSP Synthase Inhibitors • Trends: • R&D pipelines shrinking • Innovation in formulations • Adjuvants • Chemistry rotation • Pre-Emergent Chemistries 1 – www.weedscience.org/Summary/SOASummary 14

ACCESS TO MULTIPLE A.I.’S • Single largest trend and challenge: • As the number of active ingredients become post-patent, generic companies expand access to multiple active ingredients with diverse modes of action. • Formulate with actives in new and multiple classes • Pre and post-emergence maize and soybean herbicides • Seed Treatment Market • How to formulate three, four, five or more different active ingredients into the same formulation? 15

ACCESS TO MULTIPLE A.I.’S • TRENDS : • Suspension Concentrates & Suspoemulsion’s : • Compatibility • Multiple actives with varying degrees of water solubility and hydrophobicity • ID suitable wetting agents and dispersing agents dependent upon each active ingredient • Minimize active ingredient crystal growth • Correct viscosity modifier (s) • Suspensibility and long term storage stability 16

ACCESS TO MULTIPLE A.I.’S • TRENDS : • Seed Treatment Suspension Concentrates • ST formulations are unique and different from crop SC’s. • Seed Treatment Suspension Concentrates for Seed Treatment Custom Blends: • Single and Multiple active formulations blended together in Custom Blends: • Formulate individual products to be compatible in multi- component custom blends • Stabilize and maintain dispersion of actives 17

18

ACCESS TO MULTIPLE A.I.’S • TRENDS : • EC’s: • Multiple actives with varying degrees of solvent solubility • Solvent identification / co-solvents • Suitable emulsifiers • Stable with a.i .’s • Good emulsion performance • Tank mix compatibility with other products • Glyphosate • Liquid Fertilizers 19

NEW SYNTHETIC AUXIN TRAITS • Bayer, BASF and Corteva Application Guidelines: • http://www.xtendimaxapplicationrequirements.com/Pages /default.aspx • http://agro.basf.us/campaigns/engenia/tankmixselector/ • https://www.enlist.com/en/approved-tank-mixes/enlist- duo.html • TRENDS: • Post-patent product approval for tank mixes • Enhance current formulations to adhere to label criteria 21

BIOLOGICALS • Growing market opportunity • Including natural compounds, micronutrients, microorganisms or fermentation products • EPA Registered control products • Non-registered Biostimulants • TRENDS: • Enhance synergies between synthetics and biologicals • Formulation innovations 22

ADJUVANTS • TRENDS: • Enhance biological performance without building new formulations. • Further innovation with DRT’s • Class specific adjuvants? • New and improved chemistry above and beyond standard NI’s and COC’s? • Cost effective 23

PRECISION AGRICULTURE • GPS and other technology into farming • Multiple resources for field data mapping available • TRENDS: • Targeted nutrient and pest control products application technologies • Formulations • Adjuvants 24

REGULATORY PRESSURES • Maintain yields with less active ingredients and label restrictions. • Current issues: • Neonicotinoid bans and reductions – Canada & EU • Glyphosate litigation pressures • Off target movement of active ingredients • Application restrictions • TRENDS: • Increase efficacy of formulations • Combine biologicals with synthetics for pest control • Conventional Seeds 25

ORGANIC MARKETS • Emerging market • Pesticides • Adjuvants • TRENDS: • Improve stability and performance of current formulations • Improve existing formulations with actives such as Copper • Incorporate Biologicals • New 40 CFR inert chemistry w/ organic certification • How can CPDA become more involved in working with state regulatory agencies to assist members with new products and issues? 26

H 2 O • Global agriculture accounts 70% of worldwide water use 1 • Worldwide decreased access to irrigation water • Poor water quality – No easy solution • TRENDS: • Water conditioning agents • Soil surfactants • Effluent water quality improvement 1 – World Bank Group 27

TREND SUMMARY • More effective use of inert chemistry within the current on the 40 CFR list • New inert chemistry outside of what is on the 40 CFR • Increase biological performance with lower label rates • New encapsulation or slow release technology • More robust and functional wetting agents and dispersants • New or alternative viscosity modifiers • New or alternative solvents • Crystal inhibitors • Compatibility agents • Film formers, stickers, penetrants • New and improved DRT’s • AMS alternatives 28
