Syngenta Biologicals enhances portfolio with Megafol

A survey recently released by CropLife Brasil shows that the bioinputs market grew 15% in the 2023/2024 harvest, compared to the previous one. The study also shows that, in the last three years, the segment has grown at an average annual rate of 21%, a percentage four times higher than the global average. This reinforces that the biologicals market in Brazil is in a moment of accelerated expansion, reflecting the openness of Brazilian farmers to the combined use of chemical and biological technologies, aiming at productivity and sustainability.

This growing interest in the use of biological products reinforces the assertiveness of the creation of Syngenta Biologicals, which, in April of this year, was announced with the purpose of promoting increasingly profitable, sustainable and effective agriculture.

Aware of farmers' demands for biological inputs capable of performing beneficial and necessary activities for plant development, Syngenta invests in solutions such as Megafol - a bioactivator based on plant extracts and algae that stands out for its triple action: mitigating abiotic stresses, accelerating plant recovery and activating metabolism for better vegetative development. The solution is especially effective in adverse periods, in which crops face situations such as water deficit, flooding, temperature fluctuations, cloudiness, salinity and chemical stress (phytotoxicity).

Megafol enhances plant metabolism, enabling consistent results and improving productivity in major crops such as soybeans, corn, cotton, coffee and others. Its composition derived from 100% natural sources, which favors absorption and activity in plants, offers a sustainable approach to face the increasingly frequent climate challenges in agriculture.

“The climate challenges faced by soybean and other crop producers not only reduce productivity, but can also significantly impact the country’s economy. Megafol emerges as a crucial tool in this scenario. By mitigating the damage caused by abiotic stresses, accelerating plant recovery and activating their metabolism, the bioactivator not only protects the productive potential of crops, but also promotes more efficient use of natural resources. It is a solution that combines productivity and sustainability, essential for sustainable agriculture in Brazil,” highlights Dáfila Fagotti, Biological Products Manager at Syngenta.
