Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Information and Accounting Policies	Financial Information and Accounting PoliciesIn our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and our financial positions as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Form 10-K").Given the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries, including the United States, subsequently imposed restrictions on both travel and business closures in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As an agriculture sciences company, we are considered an "essential" industry in the countries in which we operate and have avoided significant plant closures and all our facilities are operational. While we have maintained business continuity and sustained our operations, we do not yet know the full extent of the disruptions on either our business and operations or the global economy nor the duration of the pandemic and its adverse effects.
