Global Science
Growers around the globe have the same goal of boosting yields, and they inevitably face many of the same challenges. Increasingly, in today’s intercon-nected world, growers in countries distant from each other are dealing with the same issues. A pest problem in Brazil this year, for instance, may plague growers in the Midwest next year. That’s one reason the global reach of Syngenta research and development (R&D) has proven so critical in the development of new seed, seed treatment and crop protection solutions that can be adapted to local environments and tailored to meet specific local needs. Drawing on a dedicated team of scientists, state-of-the-art facilities and a vast supporting network, the company is utilizing its capabilities to address growers’ needs with new, innovative technologies.
