Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In connection with the Company's adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," and ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," the Company has updated its significant accounting policies for revenue recognition and equity securities as noted below. Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue either upon shipment or delivery of product depending on when it is reasonably assured that both title and the risks and rewards of ownership have been passed on to the customer, and the Company's performance obligations have been fulfilled and collectability is reasonably assured. Estimates for sales rebates, incentives and discounts, as well as sales returns and allowances, are accounted for as reductions of revenue when the earnings process is complete. Sales rebates, incentives and discounts are typically earned by customers based on annual sales volume targets, which vary by each segment. The Company records an estimate for these accruals based on contract terms and its historical experience with similar programs. An estimate for future expected sales returns is recorded based on historical experience with product returns; however, changes to these estimates may be required if the historical data used in the calculation differ from actual experience. Differences between estimated expense and actual costs are typically immaterial and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Variable consideration for volume discounts, rebates and returns are recorded as contract liabilities and settled with the customer in accordance with the terms of the applicable contract, typically when annual program requirements are achieved by the customer. On a limited and discretionary basis, the Company allows certain distributors within its Agricultural Solutions segment extensions of credit on a portion of the sales to them during a purchasing cycle which remain in the distributor’s inventory. The extension of credit is not a right to return, and distributors must pay unconditionally when the extended credit period expires. Remaining performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, in which the Company has the right to invoice the customer at the time the performance obligation is satisfied for the amount of revenue recognized at that time. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient available under ASC Topic 606 not to disclose remaining performance obligations under its contracts. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to expense incremental costs for obtaining contracts with terms of less than one year. Within the Agricultural Solutions segment, certain contracts with customers provide distribution rights for certain AIs registered with local government authorities and owned by the Company. These contracts typically require the Company to provide the AI at stated prices to the customer over the contract term. Revenue related to the upfront license fees in these contracts is recognized over time using a time elapsed input method since the license fees for the distributions rights is considered symbolic intellectual property. In these contracts, typically, the customer will simultaneously receive and consume the benefit from the entity’s performance of providing access to its intellectual property as the performance occurs. See Note 16, Segment Information, to the Company's unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for a disaggregation of the net sales for each reportable segment. Equity Securities – Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Other (expense) income." Equity securities which do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost and are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such investments may be impaired. Equity securities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Other assets."

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In connection with the Company's adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," and ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," the Company has updated its significant accounting policies for revenue recognition and equity securities as noted below.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue either upon shipment or delivery of product depending on when it is reasonably assured that both title and the risks and rewards of ownership have been passed on to the customer, and the Company's performance obligations have been fulfilled and collectability is reasonably assured. Estimates for sales rebates, incentives and discounts, as well as sales returns and allowances, are accounted for as reductions of revenue when the earnings process is complete. Sales rebates, incentives and discounts are typically earned by customers based on annual sales volume targets, which vary by each segment. The Company records an estimate for these accruals based on contract terms and its historical experience with similar programs. An estimate for future expected sales returns is recorded based on historical experience with product returns; however, changes to these estimates may be required if the historical data used in the calculation differ from actual experience. Differences between estimated expense and actual costs are typically immaterial and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. Variable consideration for volume discounts, rebates and returns are recorded as contract liabilities and settled with the customer in accordance with the terms of the applicable contract, typically when annual program requirements are achieved by the customer.

On a limited and discretionary basis, the Company allows certain distributors within its Agricultural Solutions segment extensions of credit on a portion of the sales to them during a purchasing cycle which remain in the distributor’s inventory.

Equity Securities – Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Other (expense) income." Equity securities which do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost and are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such investments may be impaired.
