“Taking advantage of the new mode of action herbicides that is developed in our crop protection pipeline. New herbicides that are coming along within the next decade.”
He says Syngenta will use new transgenic technologies that will accelerate product development.
“Genome editing is a breakthrough technology we believe will have significant impact on traits as well as our breeding process.”
