Guelph, Ontario-Syngenta Crop Protection Canada Inc. on March 17 announced its intent to work with Innovotech, a Canadian biotechnology product development company, clearing the way for continued research trials in North America on a new bacterial blight research product, oxysilver nitrate. Earlier this year Innovotech and Syngenta entered into an agreement allowing Syngenta to conduct research trials of oxysilver nitrate in a seed treatment application for control of bacterial blight. “We are very pleased to play a part in the development of this new technology,” said Coby Long, North American Seed Care marketing head at Syngenta. “We believe it is important to continually seek out new innovative pest management solutions for producers, both in North America and worldwide.” Innovotech is based in Edmonton, Alberta, and it has products in medical diagnostics and agriculture.
