A canola seed that’s irregular in size can result in poor seed placement, even causing a planter to skip if a seed gets stuck in a disc. In order to solve these types of issues for canola growers, Syngenta has a new offering in the name of Pelta technology.

The Pelta treatment creates a uniform seed size to ensure consistent seed placement and avoid seeds competing with each other in the row, increasing plant survivability. Pelta also offers a comprehensive seed treatment package against major crop pests and plant diseases.

In this video, Bryan Briggs with Syngenta Canada talks about the company’s latest canola seed technology and how it can give growers a ‘picket-fence’ look in their fields.
