Camilla Corsi, Head of Crop Protection Research & Development at Syngenta, is the winner of the prestigious 2026 American Chemical Society (ACS) International Award for Research in Agrochemicals. The ACS Fall Meeting, starting today, will hold a symposium in her honor to recognize her influential leadership and contributions to the discovery of the fungicide pydiflumetofen (ADEPIDYN technology); the insecticides isocycloseram (PLINAZOLIN technology) and spiropidion (TINIVION technology); as well as the novel SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor) nematicide cyclobutrifluram (TYMIRIUM technology). Together, Syngenta's ADEPIDYN, PLINAZOLIN and TYMIRIUM technologies represent a new generation of crop protection treatments, delivering powerful disease, pest and nematode control across a wide range of crops and geographies. A chemist by training, Corsi joined Syngenta in 2004, holding leadership roles in Research & Development. In January 2025, Corsi became head of Crop Protection Research & Development, an organization of more than 3,000 scientists, technologists and regulatory experts spread across 51 countries, including four world-class research sites. Corsi was appointed to Syngenta Group's extended Global Leadership Team in January 2025 and is a member of the company's Innovation Board. "This is a very proud moment for me", Corsi said. "As a company, we continuously invest in key technologies to ensure agriculture becomes more productive, sustainable and resilient in the face of climate and resource pressures. I would like to thank the American Chemical Society for both recognizing the work we do at Syngenta and honoring me with this award." Syngenta has the leading R&D pipeline for crop protection spending up to USD 2 billion per year on R&D across all its business units. It is on track to launch at least 20 new proprietary innovations in crop protection and biologicals over the next decade. Crop protection is one of the world's most highly regulated industries. To gain and maintain registration, a chemical must be safe for workers, the environment, crops and consumers. Often taking more than 10 years to reach commercial launch, the average cost of bringing a new crop protection product to market is more than USD 300 million, according to latest industry figures. Syngenta is the world market leader in crop protection products, offering farmers an extensive toolbox of solutions that help deliver higher yields with lower impact. Alongside synthetic chemical pesticides, Syngenta conducts research into biological solutions, which are derived from nature itself or inspired by it. Their purpose is to keep pests in check, help plants absorb nutrients more effectively and withstand harsh climatic conditions. Digital technology and artificial intelligence are increasingly reshaping agriculture. In the laboratory, in the field, and across the entire supply chain, the convergence of AI, data and deep agronomic expertise is redefining how food is grown, protected and delivered. In R&D, machine learning is accelerating the discovery of novel active ingredients by exploring vast chemical spaces that would take human researchers decades to map. In parallel, generative design is delivering better and faster products to markets. In the field, drone-based detection, combined with AI-generated agronomic advice, is optimizing farm operations and making precision farming accessible at scale. In operations, AI-driven demand forecasting is streamlining logistics networks and supply chain efficiency. Together, these advances represent a step change in what modern agriculture can achieve. Originally from Italy, Corsi has a graduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Florence, Italy, and holds a PhD from University College London, UK. She co-sponsors Syngenta's Women Leading in Science network, is a keen advocate for women and girls in STEM, and for the next generation of female science leaders.

Syngenta and Groundwork BioAg enter partnership to bring innovation in biologicals and soil carbon solutions to farmers. * New strategic partnership combines advanced biological crop performance and soil health solution with carbon credit program * Carbon program to be launched in Latin America and Europe * Product distribution to include multiple other markets MAZOR, Israel, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Syngenta and Groundwork BioAg today announced a strategic partnership to market Groundwork's mycorrhizal technology. Syngenta, the global leader in biological crop protection, now offers a biological solution that enhances crop performance, provides resistance to plant stress while improving soil health with a carbon credit program, generating an additional revenue stream for farmers. Under the partnership, Syngenta will commercialize mycorrhiza-based products and soil carbon solutions under its own label. The innovative, grower-centric offer will initially target corn, soy, cereals and sunflower in Latin America and Europe. Groundwork BioAg will be responsible for manufacturing, supply, digital tooling and the full carbon program development process. Farmers will benefit from enhanced nutrient uptake that delivers higher, more resilient crop yields, while simultaneously unlocking a new revenue stream from carbon credits. Petra Laux, Chief Sustainability Officer of Syngenta Group, comments: "The model we've built with Groundwork BioAg goes beyond farming carbon - it builds resilience, restores soil health, and accumulates long term carbon stocks at a remarkable pace, while generating carbon credits from which farmers directly benefit. We see this as a natural evolution of what carbon programs can achieve". Alon Werber, CEO of Groundwork BioAg: "This partnership provides commercial validation of our technology and is expected to generate a substantial source of revenue for farmers and Groundwork over the next few years. By combining Syngenta's market access with our proven mycorrhizal capabilities, we are positioning mycorrhizal fungi as both a valuable agronomic input and a significant pathway for agricultural climate mitigation through our end-to-end carbon program." Emilhano Lima, Global Head Seedcare & Biologicals: "This partnership reflects how biologicals are increasingly becoming a central part of agriculture. Nature-inspired solutions give farmers effective, reliable tools, while also providing concrete agronomical returns." Soil carbon sequestration is the process by which carbon dioxide is drawn from the atmosphere by plant photosynthesis and stored in the soil through biological activity. Mycorrhizal fungi form symbiotic relationships with crop root systems, improving nutrient and water uptake and supporting long-term soil health. The fungi also catalyze the formation of durable mineral-associated organic matter, resulting in long term storage of the carbon. For farmers, soils that sequester more carbon are generally more fertile, retain water more effectively, and are more resilient to drought and erosion. | Media Contacts | / | Web Resources | / | | Groundwork BioAg Media Relations [email protected] Syngenta Media Relations [email protected] | / | Pictures | About Groundwork Groundwork BioAg is a leading bioagriculture and climate-tech company.
