United States ·
Gowan Company is a family-owned agricultural solutions business headquartered in Yuma, Arizona, a centre of US winter vegetable production. It was founded by Jon Jessen in 1962 as a science-based crop consultancy that scouted local farms for pests. From those roots the Gowan Group has grown into several companies around the world that develop, manufacture and market agricultural inputs, combining local crop knowledge with international operations.
Gowan's offering spans crop protection products, seeds and fertilisers, with product development and sales support tailored to regional needs. It covers specialty crops as well as a wide range of oilseeds and pulses, where its herbicides include Sonalan HFP. Because the business began with field scouting, its approach starts from the crop and the specific pest or weed problem, which suits growers of specialist crops who need solutions matched to local conditions.

Gowan reports more than 45 entities in 19 countries, with sales reaching over 70 countries.
