Syngenta Zambia is a company that takes pride in its research and development processes. The company conducts various trials to ensure that it fully understands its hybrids and varieties. These trials include drilling date trials, seed rate trials, component of yield trials, fungicide interaction trials and grain quality trials. By conducting these trials, Syngenta is able to guarantee high quality seeds for farmers to grow.
Drilling date trials are used to determine the best time to plant seeds, while seed rate trials help identify the appropriate amount of seed to be planted per hectare. Component of yield trials aim to identify the key factors that contribute to high crop yields, such as soil fertility and water availability. On the other hand, fungicide interaction trials help test the efficacy of fungicides in controlling crop diseases. Lastly, grain quality trials ensure that the harvested crops meet certain quality standards, such as size, weight, and nutritional value.
Thanks to Syngenta's extensive research and development processes, farmers can be assured that the seeds they use are of the highest quality, which in turn leads to higher crop yields and better harvests.
