Pollinator Stewardship

Crop protection technologies and proper pollinator stewardship practices must mutually co-exist. We make it a priority to collaborate, advocate and educate for stewardship — to safely feed and care for our planet — through the responsible use of our products.

Protecting Crops & Pollinators

Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining a healthy and productive agricultural system. Without bees and other pollinators, crops cannot flourish and thrive. And without insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and treated seed, we cannot protect these crops against pests, weeds and plant diseases. Crop protection technologies and proper stewardship practices must mutually coexist, and we are committed to putting stewardship into action with farmers, applicators and the agricultural community.

The interconnectedness of agriculture and nature is at the heart of our commitment to help biodiversity flourish. Syngenta is committed to enhancing biodiversity and soil health on 7.4 million acres of rural land every year through 2025.

Policies and Regulations

Stewardship is essential in how Syngenta operates, and we take responsibility through proper management and related government policies and regulations. The pesticide registration process uses extensive scientific information and data to evaluate the safety of pesticides to honey bees and other pollinators, people and the environment. These data sets are reviewed by regulators and used to determine registration status, label directions and best management practices to protect beneficial organisms and properly steward the land.

Responsible Product Use

From manufacturing to disposal, Syngenta products are made, transported and used in a safe way through the entire product lifecycle. We work directly with farmers, seed treaters, pesticide applicators and retailers to share stewardship best management practices that help ensure products are used safely and responsibly every time.

Jointly produced by the American Seed Trade Association and CropLife America, our Guide to Seed Treatment Stewardship provides farmers and seed companies with critical information and up-to-date guidelines for managing treated seeds effectively to minimize the risk of exposure to non-target organisms to ensure proper stewardship.

Partnering for Impact

To create lasting change, it’s imperative to team up with like-minded organizations to help put those plans into action. Through two strategic collaborations, we have supported habitat restoration projects and student outreach programs that resulted in the planting of over 64,000 wildflower plugs and 7,500 milkweed stems.
