What's Happening?
Syngenta is urging growers to adopt a comprehensive approach to disease management as they finalize their 2026 input decisions. The company highlights the increasing challenges posed by unpredictable weather and compounding disease risks, which threaten
yield potential and profitability. Colin Morris, fungicide product lead at Syngenta, emphasizes the importance of protecting yield from disease and stress as a core part of risk management. In 2025, U.S. soybean and corn growers lost nearly 1.5 billion bushels to disease, with tar spot and Southern rust being significant contributors. Syngenta recommends a season-long risk mitigation strategy using Miravis Neo corn and soybean fungicide, which offers broad-spectrum protection against various diseases and environmental conditions.
Why It's Important?
The intensifying disease risks and unpredictable weather patterns present significant challenges for U.S. agriculture, impacting both yield and profitability. Syngenta's call for a comprehensive disease management strategy is crucial for growers seeking to safeguard their investments. The company's Miravis Neo fungicide, powered by ADEPIDYN technology, provides consistent protection across multiple diseases and conditions, helping to mitigate stress during periods of drought or weather extremes. This approach not only protects yield but also ensures a profitable return on investment, which is vital for the sustainability of the agricultural sector.
What's Next?
As disease risks continue to evolve, growers are encouraged to adopt preventive strategies and make informed decisions to protect their yield and profitability. Syngenta remains committed to partnering with growers, providing them with tools and strategies to manage disease risks effectively. The company emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded fungicide strategy to protect investments and ensure consistent returns. With ongoing trials and data collection, Syngenta aims to refine its products and strategies to better support growers in navigating the challenges of the 2026 season.
