Crop protection

Crop protection

Alongside Moroccan agriculture for generations

Keeping plants safe from planting to harvesting

From seed to harvest, crops must be protected from weeds, insects and diseases, as well as droughts, floods and extreme temperatures.

As the global leader in crop protection, we help farmers fight these threats and ensure healthy, nutritious and affordable food for all, while minimising the use of land and other farm inputs.

Innovation in Seedcare

Seedcare

Our innovative Seedcare solutions help protect seeds and young plants from diseases, pests and environmental stress — right from the start, before a single shoot emerges from the soil.

Keeping plants safe from planting to harvesting

Integrated strategies for lasting protection

Good crop protection starts with a proactive strategy. Working with farmers and local partners, we develop integrated approaches that combine preventive and curative treatments, biological controls and digital decision-support tools — delivering outcomes that are both effective and environmentally sound.

The highest standards of safety

Our products meet rigorous standards of safety for human health and the environment. We continually invest in the development of new active ingredients, advanced formulations and innovative combinations — delivering the best possible performance while minimising environmental impact.

Sustainability and productivity together

We believe sustainability and productivity go hand in hand. That’s why we are committed to offering farmers a flexible portfolio that spans conventional crop protection, biocontrol agents and digital decision-making tools, designed to adapt to diverse farming conditions worldwide.

Local knowledge, global expertise

Our teams work side-by-side with farmers in more than 100 countries. By combining deep local agronomic knowledge with our global network of scientists and innovation centres, we ensure that our solutions truly address the specific challenges farmers face in their fields.

Looking ahead

A safe, sustainable and flexible toolbox for farmers

Farmers of every size and farming system must meet the needs and expectations of processors, retailers, consumers, society and our planet.

Strict regulation

Crop protection is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world. To obtain and keep its registration, a product must prove that it is safe for workers, the environment, crops and consumers.

A complete offer

Syngenta is a global leader offering a broad toolbox of solutions. We develop herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and seed treatments that promote strong, healthy growth.

Advanced technologies

Our solutions combine cutting-edge chemistry with natural biocontrols. We pair them with new monitoring techniques, precision application and fast-growing digital technologies.

Lasting responsibility

Whatever the solution, we take our responsibilities very seriously to make each one safe and sustainable for farmers, society as a whole and our planet.

Our key crop protection products and innovations

ACURON®: a breakthrough against resistant weeds

Weeds that are resistant to the herbicide glyphosate can cause significant yield losses and raise the costs of crop protection for growers.

Our work to meet this challenge led to a series of new products including ACURON®, a herbicide used in cereals, which is based on a new chemical combined with three other active ingredients. It improves the control of more than 70 weeds that are increasingly difficult for growers to manage, such as Palmer amaranth and giant ragweed.
