Syngenta claims ‘first new mode of action in biologicals in 20 years’ with microRNA breakthroughSyngenta has introduced EXORT, a new biological technology that utilizes naturally occurring plant microRNAs to fine-tune crop growth processes, claiming it as the first novel mode of action in biologicals in over 20 years. Field trials across multiple countries and crops have shown yield improvements of 5-10% with extremely low application rates, and the company aims for a commercial launch in Latin America in 2027. The technology is designed to work within existing crop management systems, offering sustainability benefits through reduced packaging and logistics, and is intended as an addition to, not a replacement for, current agricultural inputs.
