Japan · Part of the ADEKA group
Nihon Nohyaku, known internationally as Nichino, is a Japanese group engaged in crop protection research, manufacturing and sales. Its parent company is the chemical group ADEKA. Nichino's business is organised into crop science products and life science products: the first covers crop protection, crop aid and adjuvant products, and the second includes termiticides, pharmaceuticals and animal health products. Regional Nichino companies support its offering in local markets.
For growers, Nichino supplies crop protection products together with crop aid and adjuvant products. Adjuvants are added to a spray tank to help a product spread, stick or penetrate the leaf, which can make an application more effective. The group also supplies technical materials, and its regional companies, such as Nichino Europe, build local portfolios, including biological fungicides like TEMAP, alongside the group's own chemistry.
Size of the business
Nihon Nohyaku group net sales were JPY 111.822 billion in the year ended 31 March 2026. This figure covers the Nihon Nohyaku group, not the rest of ADEKA.
