Syngenta gives crop tour at its Plattsville Research Farm

Strobe-light demonstrations showing spray-nozzle efficiencies along with information sessions on herbicides, seed science and fungicides was all part of the knowledge shared with FS crop specialists visiting Syngenta’s Research Farm just outside of Plattsville this summer.

Travelling by tractor-pulled bleachers, participants were chauffeured through a one-hundred acre field of test plots including corn, wheat and soybeans. Different speakers along the way provided insight into what had gone into each plot and demonstrated the advantage of incorporating an integrated cropping system using layered technology to improve yields.
