Genetics, traits and crop protection chemicals are important tools

Miloud Araba, Product Lead, Technical Traits for Syngenta was busy talking to farmers at the 2012 Farm Progress Show about solutions to help growers improve corn and soybean performance through genetics, traits, and crop protection chemicals.  Growers are investing heavily into crops, so protecting genetic potential through trait selection is very important.  A great concern for many farmers is corn rootworm.  Araba said having a number of tools to use in a strategic manner – such as traits and soil applied insecticide – is key.

Araba said Syngenta has all the tools from genetics to water resistance hybrids to insect traits to provide solutions for growers.
