Syngenta has been advised that there are some growers who are concerned about the effects of voluntarily withdrawn contaminated GESAGARD and PRIMEXTRA GOLD (batch numbers listed below), and who have not lodged a product performance enquiry with Syngenta due to concerns about their reputation in the market place.
Syngenta has appointed an independent research agronomist, Anova Agriculture, to assist them in addressing any potential concerns that growers may have with voluntarily withdrawn GESAGARD or PRIMEXTRA GOLD. The discussions are on a confidential basis and will not be disclosed to industry. Syngenta hopes that the confidentiality of the discussions will encourage any growers who do have concerns to come forward so that their issues can be addressed.
If you have a concern about potential issues with GESAGARD and PRIMEXTRA GOLD (batch numbers listed below) and would like to have a confidential consultation, please contact Melissa Brown of Anova Agriculture by phone or email.
