Potato Partners in action: Syngenta gets its hands dirty with growers

Discusses in-furrow fungicide application

Tasmanians farmers were among the latest to benefit from the Potato Partners program, out in the field, as Syngenta furthers its support of the industry.

About 100 people, comprising growers and industry members, attended these discussions and workshops in September with practical advice for use on-farm.

“These events are important to Syngenta in that we continue to share practical advice with those participants in the Potato Partners program,” said Syngenta Senior Product Lead for Crop Protection and Seedcare, Richard Packard.

“Potato Partners stands alone in the crop protection and Seedcare business, with real benefits delivered to participants, this is something Syngenta takes pride in being able to do.”

Here is a collection of photos from the Tasmania trip that capture the mood of the planting season.
