Syngenta Seed Care announced today it has
entered into a partnership with
INCOTEC to enhance quality control and assurance during the
treating of fruiting vegetable seeds at the newly formed High iQ
Elite Seed Technology Source™.
The High iQ Elite Seed Technology Source facility will be
located at the INCOTEC North American Headquarters in Salinas,
Calif. The facility will set new standards in precise
application of seed treatments with the launch of the FarMore®
Technology crop enhancement component in the fruiting vegetable
market.
The alliance between INCOTEC and Syngenta Seed Care with the
High iQ Elite Seed Technology Source will exhibit the strengths
of both companies. INCOTEC will manage the quality and assurance
control aspects of the treating process, while Syngenta Seed
Care will continue to manage the application of the FarMore
Technology crop enhancement component to each individual seed.
“Tomato growers will benefit greatly from this collaboration,”
said Chad Shelton, Syngenta Seed Care crop manager. “When you
couple the INCOTEC expertise in quality and assurance control
with high-quality, innovative and performance based seed
treatments from Syngenta Seed Care, value is added to every
vegetable seed." This new component of the FarMore Technology
platform will become available soon to other transplant crops
like peppers and melons, with future uses for other small seeded
vegetable species.
"INCOTEC has set a high standard for quality and assurance
control methods in the small-seeded vegetable market and is
excited to join with Syngenta Seed Care to showcase this
strength,” said David Pickenpaugh, INCOTEC general manager. “The
real winner in this partnership will be the growers who will
receive a precisely-treated seed that will allow for maximum
yield and profit potential.”

vegetables, FarMore Technology has a history of innovation.

market and grower needs. Growers have come to always expect more
