Biocontrol of soil insect pests

Soil-based pests cause extensive damage to essential crops, including corn and soybeans. This can greatly impact yields and poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity worldwide.
 
Existing biocontrol solutions for soil pests often lose effectiveness when delivered as a seed treatment—a method farmers favor due to convenience and efficiency. We are actively seeking innovative biocontrol technologies optimized for seed treatment delivery; however, solutions designed for soil application will also be considered.
 
Syngenta is open to collaborating with startups, researchers, universities, and R&D partners to co-develop groundbreaking solutions enabling farmers to combat soil pests more effectively. Join us in advancing agricultural innovation to protect and sustain crop production worldwide.
