Our Numbers Speak for Themselves
Syngenta digital solutions already help service more than 50 million hectares over five continents around the world. Cropwise Seed Selector offers data from more than 50,000 hybrid performance trials across Europe. Our Cropwise Seed Selector platform alone uses more than 367,000 individual data point comparisons and 20 years of Meteorological data to form its personalised recommendations.
Access, Functionality and Connectivity for More Flexibility
Cropwise Seed Selector is a mobile-enabled web app which is compatible with Android and IOS operating systems as well as web browsers like Safari, Chrome and Firefox. Syngenta has tested this new digital design with growers to fine-tune the user interface for the best possible user experience.
Cropwise Seed Selector has the functionality and flexibility to be used in different ways and will provide the greatest user experience and accuracy for your farm. You can map out each of your fields separately using the Web App to create field size data. By doing this, you can benefit from more detailed field-by-field hybrid seed recommendations including seed rate demand calculations.
What Will Cropwise Seed Selector Show Growers
You will be able to see why Cropwise Seed Selector is recommending certain hybrids for your fields based on key inputs like historic weather patterns. In addition, Important information on environmental risks like drought are available for each field along with technical recommendations. There are also added features where you can review relevant trial data and compare the agronomic profiles of different hybrids!
After completion of the online process, Cropwise Seed Selector will recommend you a 1 preferred hybrid along with 2 alternatives for each field and show agronomic profiles for these products.
Buying Seeds Made Easier
Once your seed recommendations are shown on screen you can press ‘buy’ and purchase your seed requirements online. In countries like Poland this facility is in place and growers are directed to an e-Shop where they will be able to buy their seeds. The system will automatically feed into the shopping basket the exact quantity of seed bags required and hybrid products to purchase based on the recommendations of Seed Selector.
For countries where direct e-Commerce platforms are not available an e-Voucher will be produced instead. The grower can then email or print off this e-Voucher and redeem it with a local distributor when purchasing hybrid seed from that company.
The Knowledge and Science Behind the Screen
Cropwise Seed Selector doesn’t just churn out an isolated recommendation for your fields. It also explains why it is recommending certain hybrids based on a diagnosis of 3 fundamental factors – environmental stress, soil conditions and the historical yield potential. Algorithms in Cropwise Seed Selector then determine and create a performance score for each hybrid as well as a ranking using many thousands of data comparisons. This data can be accessed and viewed at any time.
Cropwise Seed Selector is a tool for all growers, whether they are farming two fields or 200 fields. Agronomic inputs and sustainable practices are at the heart of the system to ensure the most reliable, technical, evidence-led recommendations.
Cropwise Seed Selector will help you reduce risk and offer better performance by making it easier for you to make smarter agronomic planting decisions based on your fields and environment.
Over the years we have gathered plenty of experience from field trials to breeding programmes, to agronomy and on-farm experiments. All this knowledge is put into our seed recommendations and is ready for you whenever you want to access it.
