Syngenta Canada enters the inoculant market with the Atuva family of pulse and soybean inoculants

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

• First inoculant in the Syngenta portfolio for pulse and soybean crops
• Sold as a peat-based granular and all-in-one liquid formulation
• Delivers effective biological nitrogen fixation under a variety of agronomic situations
• Backed by the industry-leading service and support from Syngenta

The Atuva family of inoculants are a trusted source of seed- and soil-applied rhizobia bacteria that promote nodulation in pulse and soybean crops for effective biological nitrogen fixation.

“Choosing Atuva inoculants lets pulse and soybean growers maximize nodulation in their crops even when facing adverse agricultural environments such as heat or low soil moisture. Atuva inoculants are also highly compatible with many seed treatments,” says Chris Dumigan, Technical Lead for Biologicals with Syngenta Canada.

He adds that those treating with Atuva liquid formulations will be satisfied with the technology that gives high concentration, low application rate, and long life on seed. This all gives growers lots of flexibility during a busy time of year.

“For the 2025 growing season, two granular and three liquid inoculants will be available from Syngenta, all backed by our industry-leading service and support teams,” says Scott Ewert, Head of Seedcare and Biologicals for Syngenta Canada. “Atuva inoculants have been added to our pulse lineup through a collaboration with RIZOBACTER, known as a global leader in agricultural microbiology and biological inoculant research and development.”
