Camilla Corsi of Syngenta honored by American Chemical Society

Camilla Corsi, the global Head of Crop Protection Research & Development at Syngenta, has been honored by the American Chemical Society for her contributions to agrochemical research.

Corsi has led research efforts focused on enhancing agricultural productivity and resilience against climate change. Her work has contributed to the development of several key technologies, including the fungicide pydiflumetofen, insecticides such as isocycloseram and spiropidion, and the nematicide cyclobutrifluram. These advancements aim to combat fungal infections, which are estimated to destroy between 20% and 40% of annual global harvests.
