AgriPro Delivers Wheat Varieties Tailored to Local Conditions
As a result of a rigorous and localized research process, the AgriPro brand wheat portfolio enjoys the No. 1 position in the U.S. wheat seed market.
Quality is an important hallmark of the Syngenta AgriPro® brand wheat portfolio. For decades, the company has been delivering wheat varieties with better-than-acceptable quality standards. According to Paul Morano, AgriPro key account manager, this self-imposed obligation to quality is rooted in integrity and business sustainability.
“Quality is absolutely essential to the long-term success of U.S. wheat producers,” he says. “As the world’s largest commercial cereals seed breeder, we plant our varieties on a lot of acres, and we want those varieties to deliver high-quality grain for millers and bakers, in addition to favorable yields for growers.”
Each year, Syngenta generates more than 20,000 new experimental wheat lines from research sites across the U.S. and Canada. Its scientists screen these experimental lines at more than 150 testing locations and 90,000 yield plots for agronomic characteristics, regional adaptation and yield potential. Syngenta also evaluates the lines for milling and baking quality to help breeders determine which ones should advance to the next stage of testing.
“We are fortunate to have a deep genetic pool and a tradition of quality,” Morano says. “Syngenta breeders and commercial teams are also very much in tune with the needs of the market and the grower, who is always front and center when it comes to building our portfolio.”
