Viticulture field trial site
Viticulture demonstration sites facilitate discussion about the challenges growers and agronomists tend to face in day-to-day. Through a combination of good cultural practices, and the precise use of Syngenta crop solutions, our events support enhanced crop quality and profitable yield. See for yourself what others have discovered at our demonstration sites, including Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.
