Intrinsyx Bio & Syngenta Partner to Enhance Agricultural Solutions

Key Takeaways

• Syngenta Biologicals and Intrinsyx Bio announce a global collaboration to enhance agricultural solutions.
• The partnership will boost access to Intrinsyx Bio’s proprietary endophyte formulations, improving nutrient use efficiency.
• The collaboration aims to reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers, promoting sustainable agriculture.
• Syngenta continues to invest in biological solutions, reflecting its commitment to sustainable farming practices.
• The agreement highlights the potential for increased crop yields and improved soil health through innovative agricultural technologies.

In a significant move towards advancing sustainable agriculture, Syngenta Biologicals, a leader in innovative agricultural biological solutions, and Intrinsyx Bio, a Silicon Valley biotech company specializing in sustainable agricultural practices, have announced a groundbreaking collaboration. This partnership aims to bring a novel biological solution to agricultural markets worldwide, promising substantial benefits for farmers and the environment.

“This agreement represents another opportunity to expand the reach of our ‘biology that works.’ Partnering with Syngenta allows farmers worldwide to benefit from endophytes’ proven mode of action and extensive field testing that improves nutrient use efficiency and increases crop yields,” said Greg Thompson, CEO of Intrinsyx Bio.

Boosting Farmers’ Access to Advanced Endophyte Formulations

The collaboration is set to significantly enhance farmers’ access to Intrinsyx Bio’s proprietary endophyte formulations. Endophytes, small microorganisms living within plants, play a crucial role in fixing atmospheric nitrogen directly into the plant. This process increases the availability and uptake of key nutrients such as phosphorus and various micronutrients essential for plant health. As a result, the need for synthetic fertilizers is reduced, giving farmers greater flexibility in managing nutrients and lowering the environmental impact of farming practices. The formulations will be available as seed treatments and foliar applications for key crops.

“This collaboration reflects Syngenta’s commitment to transforming the future of agriculture with innovations that improve the sustainability of farming,” stated Jonathan Brown, Global Head of Syngenta Biologicals and Seedcare. “We’re particularly excited to offer a broad range of formulations that will help farmers take the care of young plants to the next level, while protecting the health of their soil.”
