Syngenta, Lindsay bringing integrated crop solutions to irrigated corn growers

Syngenta and Lindsay Corporation have formally announced a collaborative agreement to provide corn farmers with a more efficient way to grow and manage irrigated corn acres.

This collaboration will provide farmers with access to a proven combination of best-in-class products, technology, expertise, analysis, automation and service. The two companies have been working in recent years to develop projects and will deliver an entire agronomic system in one easy solution.

If the past two seasons are any indication — with both drought then excess rain — water will remain unpredictable.

During the next 15 years, nearly 40 percent of the global population will be experiencing severe water limitations, and a typical U.S. corn grower will face water issues in two to three out of every five years.

One of the major issues on irrigated acres is making the best use of available water, and the Syngenta and Lindsay initiative brings together a comprehensive approach that allows water to be most efficiently used in irrigated programs.

"Syngenta realizes it's time to rethink water. Water is the lifeblood of agriculture and one of the most critical elements in growing a corn crop," said David Morgan, North America regional director for Syngenta.
