Have you ever thought about things that look alike, but wondered if there are differences? For example, an alligator vs. a crocodile or a turtle vs. a tortoise. These things might look similar, but have some key differences. The same can be said about seed treatments. They may look similar when on the seed, but not all created equal. The differences could affect your return on investment, so it’s important to understand what sets Syngenta seed treatments apart from generics and competitor brands.
