Crop Protection

From wheat to sugar cane, fruit and vegetables, ornamentals and cotton, our comprehensive product range and the dedication of our people assist growers in their continuing battle against insects, diseases and weeds.

Syngenta provides the rural sector with products to control weeds, pests and plant disease, protecting yields and improving quality.

We aim to provide growers with total crop solutions - offering them everything they need to protect their crops. Our range includes established brands growers have trusted for many years as well as recently launched products, and with a focus on the future, our research and technology will continue to bring new solutions to Australian growers.

Herbicides

Herbicides prevent or reduce weeds, helping crops to grow without competition from unwanted plants, meaning improved yields with less need for manual and mechanical weeding and cultivation.

The Syngenta range covers non-selective herbicides, which stop the growth of all plants, and selective herbicides, which control weeds without harming the crop. Syngenta herbicides are used primarily in cereals, oilseeds, fruit and vegetables, and cotton.

Fungicides

Fungicides can improve crop yields and quality by preventing or controlling fungal plant diseases. Syngenta fungicides are used in grapes, potatoes, other fruit and vegetables and cereals.

Insecticides

Insects can significantly reduce crop yields and quality through their feeding - they can even destroy entire crops.

Insecticides help minimise the damage by controlling insect pests. Integrated pest management is used to delay the onset of resistance to insecticides, preserve a variety of useful tools available to growers and therefore maintain their sustainability.
Syngenta insecticides treat cereals, cotton and fruit and vegetables.

Seed Treatments

Insects, nematodes and seed- and soil-borne diseases pose a serious, annual threat to crop production and yields in Australia and abroad. As a result, growers are continually looking for better, more effective tools for protecting their valuable crops and yield. In the past several decades, modern seed treatments have emerged as one of the best options for growers in combating pests that attack early in the season when seeds and seedlings are most vulnerable.
