Whoever takes care of the crops reaps better. The maxim also applies to agriculture when it comes to pests and diseases that affect crops even before they are established, exposing seeds to risks that can significantly compromise crop productivity. Aiming for maximum effectiveness even in the face of these risks, Syngenta makes the most anticipated solution of the year available to the market. This is Forteneza Duo, the latest generation in industrial seed treatment.

Composed of products Fortenza 600 FS, Cruiser 350 FS e Maxim Advanced, Fortenza Duo is considered the most powerful seed treatment against the main pests that threaten soybean, corn and cotton crops. Studies that evaluated the results of applying the solution in more than 300 areas - from north to south of Brazil - indicated a significant increase in productivity: on average, 3 more bags per hectare, compared to the results provided by other technologies available on the market .

“The broad spectrum of pest control provided by the Fortenza Duo solution, combined with its prolonged residual effect, protects the establishment of the crop and, consequently, enables greater expression of the crop's productive potential. The launch of yet another technology focused on the productivity of key crops for Brazilian agriculture keeps us aligned with one of the main commitments we made in our Sustainable Agriculture Plan”, says Murilo Fernandes, Seedcare product manager at Syngenta.

All of Fortenza Duo's attributes mean that the solution acts as insurance for seeds, especially in unfavorable weather conditions, such as, for example, lack of rain. “This launch was designed precisely to meet the characteristics of Brazilian agriculture and has proven its efficiency in combating the main initial pests of soybeans, corn and cotton, such as elasmus, helicoverpa, spodoptera, stink bug, among several others”, he contextualizes Murilo.

Industrial seed treatment

Studies show that the first step towards high productivity farming is choosing the best practices and technologies that maximize crop establishment. Industrial seed treatment is a method that provides greater quality, safety and convenience to the producer, “as the application is carried out using high-tech machines, ensuring that the seed receives the correct amount of pesticide”, explains Murilo.
