As a world market leader in crop protection, we help farmers to counter these threats
and ensure enough safe, nutritious, affordable food for all – while minimizing the
use of land and other agricultural inputs.
Syngenta Crop Protection keeps plants safe from planting to harvesting. From the
moment a seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be protected from
weeds, insects and diseases as well as droughts and floods, heat and cold.

Syngenta Crop Protection is headquartered
in Switzerland.
