Syngenta pioneers insect resistance management facility in Bangladesh
Syngenta Bangladesh has launched Synnovator, the country's first private sector-led facility for Insect Resistance Management (IRM), aiming to protect crops and ensure long-term food security.
The initiative marks a significant milestone in agricultural research and innovation.
As climate change accelerates pest evolution, conventional crop protection methods become less effective. Synnovator addresses this challenge by advancing resistance monitoring, researching insect biology, and profiling host–pest interactions. By generating evidence-based insights, the facility strengthens crop protection, builds farmer confidence, and promotes sustainable food production.
