You might be involved in working with seed treatment, but have you seen what really goes into the process of treating the seeds? Join us for an eye-opening tour experience showcasing the operations at Syngenta Seedcare, to learn more about what the treatment of seed truly entails at their 38,000 square foot, state-of-the-art research and training  facility.

The Syngenta Seedcare Institute gives visitors the opportunity to see and experience the latest innovations in seed treatment technology. Within the new structure is a large-scale commercial application and performance area. Experts can tailor seed-treatment recipes for individual customers and their specific geographic needs, and then scale up the recipes from the lab to commercial-size treaters. They can also simulate various climate conditions at the time of treatment and adjust recipes for different crops and seed-treating equipment. These tailor-made recipes often translate into more efficient treatments with more effective performance.

An integral part of the new design is space for modern classroom facilities and a customer interaction center, which features multimedia demonstrations about Seedcare products and services.
