3) Syngenta bringing new biostimulant to Canadian farmers

Wheat harvest

Syngenta is bringing a new product to Canadian farmers to help them increase yields.

Starting in 2025, corn, wheat, canola, soybean, and other row crop farmers can add YieldON to their toolboxes.

This product is designed to be applied at a very specific time, said Chris Dumigan, biologicals technical lead at Syngenta Canada.

“It’s a biostimulant meant to be mixed with a foliar fungicide application,” he told Farms.com. “After it’s applied at the reproductive stage of a crop’s lifecycle, so like around heading time in wheat, it amplifies the process that plants naturally do when they move sugars from their leaf tissue into the sink at seed formation.”

The product combines biomolecules from plants and seaweed, with trace elements of manganese, zinc, and molybdenum. It also has a four-hour rainfastness.
