  • Syngenta Indonesia launched CUPRINOMAT®, a biostimulant designed to enhance plant resilience against climate change impacts like extreme heat and drought.
  • The product combines amino acids, humic and fulvic acids, and micronutrients to improve plant physiological processes and nutrient absorption.
  • Syngenta conducted a 5,108-kilometer roadshow across South Sulawesi to educate farmers on biostimulant technology, culminating in a grand finale event.

Syngenta Indonesia is introducing a new biostimulant, CUPRINOMAT®, to help farmers combat the escalating challenges posed by climate change. The product aims to bolster plant adaptability and maintain productivity amidst increasingly extreme weather conditions, such as high temperatures and prolonged droughts.

Eryanto, President Director of Syngenta Indonesia, highlighted the necessity of adaptive support for crops to ensure consistent yields. "Growth is a journey. At every stage of its life cycle, plants face various environmental challenges and pressures. Through CUPRINOMAT®, we offer a solution that helps plants continue to grow optimally in various conditions so that farmers can achieve better and more sustainable results," he stated.

The launch was marked by a grand finale event in Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap), South Sulawesi, following an extensive educational roadshow. This initiative covered 5,108 kilometers and engaged approximately 450 farmers and agricultural stakeholders, demonstrating the benefits of biostimulant technology through field trials. Syngenta showcased how plants treated with CUPRINOMAT® exhibited superior growth compared to untreated ones.

CUPRINOMAT®'s formulation includes a synergistic blend of amino acids, humic and fulvic acids, and essential micronutrients. This combination is designed to enhance plant physiological processes and strengthen tolerance to abiotic stresses. Syngenta hopes this innovation will support more climate-adaptive farming practices, thereby helping Indonesian farmers secure their productivity against the rising risks of extreme weather.
