Abstract
  Syngenta promotes the concept of sustainable
agriculture by providing tools for the management
of crops. One way Syngenta supports sustainable
agriculture is through the development of
diagnostic tests to determine diseases in crops.
Crops that we have successfully supported with
diagnostic testing include wheat, corn, almonds,
and bananas. This year, we are implementing a
Diagnostics Interactive website for our
customers. The website includes information on
crop disease diagnostics, crop sampling
protocols, disease awareness maps and links to
additional resources. By providing access to all
of this information in one website we are
providing Syngenta customers with another tool
for the judicious management of their crops.
