Core tip: According to a report by the World Agrochemical Network Chinese website, recently, Syngenta officially launched VICTRATO® seed treatment in Brazil, with the active ingredient trifluridinamide, specifically developed to address the increasing nematode pressure in Brazil. According to data jointly collected by Syngenta, the agricultural consulting agency Agroconsult, and the Brazilian Nematology Society, over 90% of soil samples nationwide tested positive for nematodes, resulting in an annual economic loss of approximately 27.7 billion reais (about 5.17 billion U.S. dollars) to the soybean production system, significantly eroding the profitability of the producing areas.
