The approval from Argentina’s Ministry of Agriculture will mean that Syngenta’s Bt11xGA21 corn will be available to farmers for the 2010/2011 growing season, Syngenta said.
Chief Operating Officer of Syngenta Seeds Davor Pisk said: “We are pleased to receive this approval, which underlines the ongoing support for modern agricultural technology in Argentina. Syngenta already has a strong position in corn in Argentina and this approval will further strengthen our offer in the country, while bringing growers higher value and more convenience.”
