Syngenta offers integrative approach

Bruce Battles, Crop Specialist with Syngenta had plenty to talk to farmers about during Farm Progress Show. Battles told Brownfield that Syngenta can put a whole package together to address all farmer needs, from seed treatments to hybrids with rootworm management traits to direct injection of insecticide into starter fertilizer to deliver insecticide. Many farmers facing rootworm issues today are covering a lot of acres and can’t risk a yield penalty. They are especially receptive to this integrative approach.

Battles said in this drought year, he is especially excited about the new technology of AgriSure Artesian. This technology, which is part of the Agrisure portfolio of high-performance traits, better manage water within the plant with up to 15% higher yield on moisture-stressed acres.
