Limonene is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the rinds of citrus fruits. It is used in a variety of agrochemical and fertilizer products, such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Limonene is also used as a solvent in the production of paints, varnishes, and other coatings. It is also used as a flavoring and fragrance agent in food and beverages.
Limonene is a popular choice for agrochemical and fertilizer products due to its low toxicity and biodegradability. It is also relatively inexpensive and has a pleasant citrus scent. Limonene is also used in the production of biopesticides, which are safer and more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical pesticides.
Some companies that produce limonene-based agrochemicals and fertilizers include BASF, Dow AgroSciences, Syngenta, and Bayer CropScience. Other companies that produce limonene-based products include Citrus Oleo, Citrosuco, and Citrofrut. Show Less Read more
