SYNGENTA SEEDS AND CROPX TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION
Mar. 18, 2024
by Lior Novik/Maariv,
Israeli start-up company CropX Technologies, a global leader in digital farm management, and Syngenta, a global leader in agricultural seeds and crop protection products, are collaborating to improve sustainability and production efficiency of Syngenta's seed suppliers in the Midwestern United States. Syngenta is one of the largest seed manufacturers globally, supplying seeds to millions of farmers worldwide.
Gilber Arjenta, Head of Seed Production and Supply Chain at Syngenta in North America, stated: "Syngenta is committed to enhancing the sustainability of our seed supply chain. Last year, we conducted a comparative trial of soil data monitoring systems in corn fields in Nebraska and Illinois, and the CropX system demonstrated the best performance".
According to Syngenta, the CropX system helped improve sustainability by reducing irrigation water usage, which enhanced the return on investment. Since the trial, the company decided to expand the use of the CropX system to additional corn growing areas in the Midwest.
Gilber Argenta continued: "We chose CropX because its excellent hardware and software technology allowed us to optimize irrigation and preserve our yields. The system, which provides real-time data, visualization tools, and insights, enables us to proactively manage our water resources. It allowed us to put our finger on the pulse of our fields and ultimately improve the health of our crops".
