Syngenta and Taranis partner to deliver AI-powered agronomy for U.S. growers

Syngenta Crop Protection and Taranis have partnered to provide AI-driven agronomy solutions for U.S. vegetable growers and agricultural retailers.

The partnership will allow retailers to access Taranis’ AI platform, which delivers high-resolution, leaf-level insights to detect weeds, pests, diseases and nutrient issues.

“We believe this collaboration with Taranis will help retailers tap into the full potential of AI and digital agronomy, unlocking new levels of operational efficiencies,” said Paul Backman, head of North America Crop Protection digital agriculture & sustainable solutions. “By combining Syngenta’s industry-leading portfolio with Taranis’ AI-driven insights, we empower retailers to deliver better, faster and more precise service to their grower-customers.”

With these tools, retailers can provide faster, data-backed recommendations to farmers, improving crop management and productivity.

“Having an instantaneous understanding of the issues and the optimal solution creates efficiencies and opportunities the industry has never seen before,” said Opher Flohr, CEO of Taranis. “This collaboration with Syngenta is a significant step forward in driving the AI revolution for production agriculture.”

The collaboration also aims to support the adoption of conservation practices by offering streamlined access to funding. Syngenta and Taranis plan to integrate digital tools to boost efficiency and sustainability across farms.
