We're Here for You

Syngenta Seedcare advancements demonstrate the company's long-term customer commitment.

As the twilight of 2015 approaches, the U.S. agricultural industry eagerly awaits the dawn of a new growing season with unwavering resolve. After all, the weather, pest and market challenges that threaten your profitability each year are no match for your grit and determination to persevere.

Palle Pedersen At Syngenta, we’re here for you with the technologies and services that can help your business or farm succeed. Our $1.3 billion annual investment in research and development is proof positive that our commitment to you runs deep—not just for next season, but for many seasons to come.

Our Seedcare business perfectly demonstrates the strength of our long-term customer commitment. Since 1979, Syngenta has led the wave of seed treatment innovation. What began as on-seed, fungicide-only treatments that provided growers with optional “disease insurance” for crops has evolved into combinations of products that are essential to increasing yields, quality and profits. These technologies protect high-value seed and vulnerable young crops from agriculture’s most destructive diseases and underground pests. They also enable growers to plant earlier, which maximizes yield potential, with less cultivation and more confidence.

In one article featured on this website, you’ll see how Clariva® Complete Beans seed treatment is revolutionizing season-long protection from soybean cyst nematode, the No. 1 cause of yield loss in soybeans. At the same time, you’ll see how this latest combination of separately registered products protects plants from a broad range of early-season insects, nematodes and diseases. Another featured technology is Vibrance® seed treatment fungicide. Already available in many crops, including corn, soybeans and cereals, Vibrance will give sugarbeet growers a new tool to battle their most devastating disease—Rhizoctonia—in 2016.
