Syngenta’s app will identify the attack of pests on the crop

New Delhi. Switzerland-based agrochemical company Syngenta has introduced a feature in its mobile app to identify pest or disease attack on crops. The company said in a statement that it has introduced a new feature ‘Crop Doctor’ in its crop-wise ‘Grower App’ introduced in August this year.

Sushil Kumar, Managing Director (MD) and Country Head, Syngenta India said that farmers globally are facing multiple challenges including climate change, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. He said that the newly added feature would be very helpful for the farmers.

Sachin Kamra, Head of Farmer Centric Ecosystem, Syngenta India Pvt Ltd, said that farmers only need to click a photo from the Grower app to access this feature. The Crop Doctor will identify pests or diseases and provide information on Syngenta products to be used.
