Successful crop protection starts with seeds, the essence of life. Today’s seeds offer a broad spectrum of varieties and traits that give undisputed advantages to the growers. Seed breeders and growers invest significant amounts of money into these technologies. Ensuring this investment is best protected while exposed in soil to diseases, insect pests, nematodes or abiotic stresses (e.g. drought), seed treatments are critical to protect the genetic potential of high value seeds.
To address these challenges, Syngenta Seedcare offers an industry leading product portfolio based on its world-class research, product development and support capabilities. We call it a three-pillar offer P.A.S. (Products – Application – Services) which delivers value to our customers BEYOND SEED PROTECTION™.

The Syngenta Seedcare portfolio helps defend and boost yield potential by protecting against early stage diseases, insect pests and nematodes. The seed-applied technologies go a step further, with products capable of mitigating environmental stresses like drought and cold, or enhancing the efficiency of nutrients and water. Our performance materials, such as polymer-based coatings and colorants applied on seeds, provide additional enhancements..
Application
A treated seed is the combination of genetics and seed-applied technologies. Only a high-quality application onto the seed ensures the desired in-field performance, while the impact to the seed company’s plant operations should be minimal.
Syngenta Seedcare has incorporated these needs into Seedcare specific formulations and recommends customers with individual recipes that fulfill highest quality standards. Seedcare will help customers to assess and manage application quality, select the best application technology, provide seed biology and safety, conduct stewardship and training and provide product marketing support.

Hence, we provide flexibility to our customers in planning and procurement processes. Our supply chain is set up for in-season response to customer demands.
