Syngenta Canada enters the inoculant market with the Atuva family of pulse and soybean inoculants

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

  • First inoculant in the Syngenta portfolio for pulse and soybean crops
  • Sold as a peat-based granular and all-in-one liquid formulation
  • Delivers effective biological nitrogen fixation under a variety of agronomic situations
  • Backed by the industry-leading service and support from Syngenta

The Atuva family of inoculants are a trusted source of seed- and soil-applied rhizobia bacteria that promote nodulation in pulse and soybean crops for effective biological nitrogen fixation.

“Choosing Atuva inoculants lets pulse and soybean growers maximize nodulation in their crops even when facing adverse agricultural environments such as heat or low soil moisture. Atuva inoculants are also highly compatible with many seed treatments,” says Chris Dumigan, Technical Lead for Biologicals with Syngenta Canada.

He adds that those treating with Atuva liquid formulations will be satisfied with the technology that gives high concentration, low application rate, and long life on seed. This all gives growers lots of flexibility during a busy time of year.

“For the 2025 growing season, two granular and three liquid inoculants will be available from Syngenta, all backed by our industry-leading service and support teams,” says Scott Ewert, Head of Seedcare and Biologicals for Syngenta Canada. “Atuva inoculants have been added to our pulse lineup through a collaboration with RIZOBACTER, known as a global leader in agricultural microbiology and biological inoculant research and development.”

Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Video: Could Seed Technology Lead the Fight Against Drought in Farming?

Seed is life, but water is the critical component to promoting that potential. As the seed sector navigates more and more extreme weather, ensuring each planted seed has access to adequate moisture is a critical — arguably, the MOST critical — component of early season success. A group of Slovakian scientists has recently introduced to the market a potential solution: a superabsorbent polymer seed coating technology that captures and delivers moisture directly to the seed. The company is PeWaS (aka: Permanent Watering Solutions), and the technology is Aquaholder. How does it work, what kind of difference could it make, and — more broadly — how might seed treatments as a whole change the game for big challenges like drought mitigation? We sat down with PeWaS’s CEO, Ivo Krpelan, to find out. If you're curious about the future of seed technology and sustainable farming, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
