The company is committed to be the most collaborative and trusted team in agriculture, providing leading seeds and crop protection innovations to enhance the prosperity of farmers, wherever they are.

Syngenta’s work helps farmers to face the challenges of today’s changing world. Farmers must adapt to the effects of climate change, improve the soil and enhance biodiversity, and respond to society’s views on food and agricultural technology. And they are transparent about what they are doing and their impact.

With a broad range of safe and efficient crop protection products, Syngenta Zambia seeks to help farmers improve crop yields and plant health at all stages of plant development.

Products

Fungicides – protection from various plant fungal diseases including powdery mildew, leaf rust, scab, citrus black spot and downy mildew.

Herbicides - remove weeds which compete with the crop for important resources that include nutrients, water and light.

Insecticides - control insect pests like white-flies, aphids, mealybugs, thrips and more. Not only do insecticides keep crops healthy, they are also used to combat against disease spreading insects like ticks.

Seed treatment - a process where a fungicide, insecticide and/or nematode treatment is applied individually or in combination onto seeds before planting. Once planted, seeds can become vulnerable to seed and ground bearing diseases, early seasonal insects and nematodes if they have not undergone any form of seed treatment.

Syngenta Zambia carries out extensive research to ensure that it fully understands its hybrids and varieties. From drilling date trials, seed rate trials and component of yield trials to fungicide interaction trials and grain quality trials, Syngenta delivers high quality seed for farmers to grow.
