Sustainable Pest Management

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle AND REMOVE

Syngenta Biologicals has partnered strategically with Provivi to develop innovative pheromone-based biological solutions to enhance pest control in corn and rice cultivation. This partnership seeks to leverage pheromones' unique advantages within integrated pest management (IPM) systems.

Pheromone-based solutions offer highly specific, targeted action against harmful pests. They function through a preventative mode that reduces the need for more aggressive interventions. This approach protects crops and helps preserve biodiversity by allowing non-target species to thrive, supporting a more balanced ecosystem.

“Farmers need solutions that effectively address pest pressure while ensuring sustainability on their farms, particularly as pest threats evolve with climate change. We’re proud to work together with Provivi to deliver the next-generation in pheromone-based biocontrols that target farmer key pest challenges," said Jonathan Brown, global head of Biologicals and Seedcare at Syngenta.
