 Syngenta introduces new features to its FarmAssist.com mobile website to provide a convenient, easy-to-navigate display with an enhanced search function and more information.

For more than 10years, FarmAssist has provided the ag community with online pest, weather and crop protection updates, along with information on shifting market trends like commodity prices and cash bids. With recent enhancements, the mobile-friendly version of this popular website now allows access to crop protection information like rates, states, pests, crops and modes of action (MOA), all within reach from your mobile device. Also included in the site updates is the addition of the entire Syngenta corn, soybean vegetable and sugarbeet seed portfolio.

“The number of growers and retailers who utilize mobile technology has steadily increased over the past few years,” says Anthony Transou, Syngenta Internet marketing manager and adds: “We had a traditional website called FarmAssist.com  and decided to take 5 or 6 of the key features of that traditional website and make a mobile friendly version of that. With FarmAssist Mobile, any mobile device with wireless web service can become an agronomic tool. We decided to take my or 6 key features of our traditional website and make a mobile friendly version of that.

The integration of additional information will offer new levels of convenience to growers across the U.S., allowing them access to both agronomic and product information from the field where they work.
