The Atuva family of inoculants are a trusted source of seed- and soil-applied rhizobia bacteria that promote nodulation in pulse and soybean crops for effective biological nitrogen fixation.

“Choosing Atuva inoculants lets pulse and soybean growers maximize nodulation in their crops even when facing adverse agricultural environments such as heat or low soil moisture. Atuva inoculants are also highly compatible with many seed treatments,” says Chris Dumigan, Technical Lead for Biologicals with Syngenta Canada.

He adds that those treating with Atuva liquid formulations will be satisfied with the technology that gives high concentration, low application rate, and long life on seed. This all gives growers lots of flexibility during a busy time of year.

“For the 2025 growing season, two granular and three liquid inoculants will be available from Syngenta, all backed by our industry-leading service and support teams,” says Scott Ewert, Head of Seedcare and Biologicals for Syngenta Canada. “Atuva inoculants have been added to our pulse lineup through a collaboration with RIZOBACTER, known as a global leader in agricultural microbiology and biological inoculant research and development.”

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
