Syngenta Seedcare researchers found that Rooting Power is key to helping enhance crop performance

More and more research is pointing to root health as the key to increasing crop productivity
in the future.

As a part of an ongoing commitment to root health and pest defense, Syngenta Seedcare scientists around the globe have been analyzing the interactions between roots, diseases, moisture efficiency and nutrient utilization. Through its research efforts, Syngenta Seedcare developed sedaxane, which contains a seed treatment mode of action designed specifically to improve the quality of roots. Sedaxane is a member of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor
(SDHI) class of fungicides.

The first active ingredient Syngenta created specifically as a seed treatment, sedaxane
delivers longer-lasting protection against difficult-to-control seedborne and soilborne pathogens while simultaneously improving overall root health and quality. As a result, crops experience Rooting Power™, the link between strong roots and higher yield potential.
