The big news for Syngenta at this year’s Farm Progress Show was the partnership with M.S. Technologies, LLC to launch a groundbreaking herbicide-tolerant soybean trait stack, with broad commercial availability expected in 2029 pending regulatory approvals. This new trait stack will be marketed by Syngenta seed brands, Stine Seed Company and others.
“This is a real exciting trait stack, because really what it’s bringing new to the game is the widest options for HPPD herbicides on soybeans of any current or next generation trait stack,” said Syngenta Global Oilseeds and Cereals Portfolio Strategy Head Andy Heggenstaller. “This trait combination will allow application of 24-D glyphosate and glufosinate, like farmers are used to with the Enlist E3 system and will also bring the widest optionality.”
Heggenstaller says the new trait stack is as yet unnamed. “We’ll announce the name and the brand for this early next year. We have some work with farmers right now having them help us on the name,” he said.
