WHAT: The 2024 Syngenta Pest Patrol program is designed to equip growers with timely alerts so they can protect their crops against potential pest threats. The alerts come from a team of local university partners and Syngenta representatives across the Mid-South and East Coast.
By signing up for this free, SMS-based program, growers can receive news about emerging pest populations and issues specific to their area throughout the growing season.
We invite you to spread awareness about the Pest Patrol program and its benefits. Together we can help growers stay ahead of pest threats and empower them with the knowledge and tools they need to combat pests during the season.
WHEN: The Pest Patrol program will run from March 31 – Oct. 31, 2024.
