Recent innovations
Tomato seeds for disease resistant crops

ToBRFV resistance
Most tomato growers know the devastating potential of the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and the efforts being made to contain and eradicate it. But did you know that Syngenta was the first tomato seed supplier to introduce a variety with ToBRFV resistance.
When the ToBRFV outbreak began, we immediately started screening our entire germplasm in a systematic search for natural resistance to the virus. And we found it.

Advancing the science of tomato seeds

Everything we do is driven by data
In-depth expertise has given us the foundations of innovation. But it is data that informs our decisions. So we collect, consolidate and analyze huge volumes of data to develop roadmaps for the tomato seeds of the future.
We are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to create new varieties that are less labour intensive and more productive without sacrificing desirable traits, making them even more attractive to growers, and consumers. Everything we do is driven by data.
Tomatoes for processing

Our solutions are meeting your needs
If you process tomatoes or supply tomatoes to processors, we have some excellent news. Following our acquisition of Woodbridge Seed Company and an ambitious investment programme, we are working on several new varieties for processing.
Building on our 12% share of the California market, the next few years will see the introduction of seeds that meet your needs by yielding crops with higher Brix ratings, more dry matter, better disease resistance and predictable, uniform ripening times.
It’s yet another example of how our solutions are...
