VERTENTO® Insecticide
Puts you in control of managing insect pests in tree crops
Powered by PLINAZOLIN® technology, with a novel mode of action (Group 30), VERTENTO® insecticide is the new, highly efficacious way to manage challenging key insect pests in Australian tree crops.

Successful crop protection involves many factors, including application technique. Syngenta, global leaders in ag-tech, are not only invested in the discovery and development of new products like VERTENTO® insecticide, they’re determined to help the industry overcome common challenges in application. This approach prompted a series of workshops surrounding Bundaberg from 19-23 May, at various tree crop farms.
