Dr. Marinus Los
Los Awarded
National Medal
WAYNE, NJ. American Cyanamid
Company announced that Dr. Marinus Los,
director. Crop Sciences Discovery, in its
Agricultural Research Division, has been
awarded the National Medal of Technology
by President Clinton in a ceremony at die
White House recendy.
Los is being honored for his contribution to
the discovery and commercialization of en
vironmentally-fnendly herbicides to help en
sure an abundant food supply for a growing
world population. His discovery of the imida
zolinones have reduced the quantity of herbi
cides used in the United States by 70 million
pounds since their introduction in 198 S.
The National Medal of Technology, ad
ministered by the U.S. Department of Com
merce, is the United States’ highest award in
recognition of extraordinary achievement in
the commercialization of technology. The
medal has been presented to 75 individuals
and three companies since the program’s in
ception in 1985.
“Dr. Los’ discovery of the imidazolinones
underscores the role of scientific research in
solving critical world needs and maintaining
this country’s leadership position in global
markets,’’ said Albert J. Costello, Cyanamid
chairman and chief executive officer. “The
National Medal of Technology honors the
men and women who, through the successful
commercialization of their scientific achieve
ments, have enhanced the quality of life for
every American, as well as the world com
munity. It is with great pride that we salute Dr.
Los for his contribution to this and future gen
erations.”
Los’ discovery of the imidazolinones is the
result of 14 years of research. Because the
imidazolinones bind with an enzyme that is
only present in plants, they are not toxic to hu
mans or wildlife. Highly effective, imidazo
linone herbicides need only be applied in
ounces per acre. Cyanamid has commercializ
ed four individual major agricultural products
and many combination products from this
class of chemicals. Annual worldwide sales of
imidazolinone products are in excess of $5OO
million.
Los was bom in the Netherlands in 1933
and was educated in the United Kingdom. An
honor graduate of Edinburgh University, Los
joined Cyanamid in 1960 as a research chem
ist. He is the inventor on 51 patents. 28 of
which are related to the* imidazolinones.
