Say hi to a new class of biologicals. 🧬 Today, Syngenta announced EXORT™ technology, a scientific breakthrough ushering in a new generation of biological solutions. Based on natural microRNAs, EXORT™ technology is a new frontier in agriculture, designed to help farmers increase yield with lower impact. It works with the same signals that plants use to regulate biological processes, helping crops optimize how they use their own resources.

We’ve teamed up with QuantumBasel to advance agricultural technology with quantum science. Using quantum computers, we’re excited to see industry-leading quantum / AI capabilities and agronomic expertise work together to bring new solutions to farmers around the world. Quantum computers work almost like nature itself, following the very principles of physics at an atomic level. Here’s how 👉 syngenta.com/agriculture/agr…

A resistant weed can threaten an entire harvest. That challenge brought 400+ growers, scientists and industry experts together in Argentina for the rollout of a new weed control technology. Argentina is the first country to register VIRESTINA™ technology globally, and it will be marketed AUTHENCE®. #FoodSecurity #WeedManagement #Argentina #Authence #VirestinaTechnology

They’re no larger than a fingernail, but pine weevils destroy thousands of young Sitka spruce trees each year. 🌱 Laying their hatchlings on or near stumps, they can chew through the delicate bark of trees, causing their death. We’ve created Lanzarta, which is now fully authorized in the UK, to get to the root of this problem, helping foresters give a second life to their saplings. 🎉 Here’s how Lanzarta works: syngenta.com/agriculture/cro… #Forests #Innovation #PestManagement

Unveiling the world’s first selective herbicide to control resistant grass weeds in soybean and cotton in nearly 40 years! We’re launching VIRESTINA™ technology globally after Argentina approved this new weed control. We plan to roll out this breakthrough to other countries such as Brazil, Australia, the U.S., and Canada. Follow us for updates!
