At this year’s Mkushi Farm Expo, Syngenta unveiled MEGAFOL™, a powerful biostimulant set to help Zambian farmers unlock stronger, more resilient crops.

With increasing pressure from climate variability, the launch highlighted practical solutions that support farmers to achieve consistent yields, even under challenging conditions for all crops. Farmers could see how MEGAFOL™ works during the test trials on crops.

MEGAFOL™ is an anti-stress and growth activator that promotes vegetal growth during environmental stress.

MEGAFOL™ contains a wide variety of vitamins, amino acids and proteins, betaines and growth factors. When MEGAFOL™ is applied regularly, it promotes balanced vegetative development and productivity.

When applied during times of stress (frost, root asphyxia, weeding, hail), its synergistic action of betaine and amino acids allows the plants to overcome the stress and improve growth quickly and spectacularly.

MEGAFOL™ is also a carrier of products in foliar applications. MEGAFOL™ starts working within two to four hours after foliar application.

Why choose MEGAFOL™

  • Builds natural defences against drought, heat and frost before they strike.
  • Powered by GEAPOWER®: Advanced technology that works inside plant cells to “reprogramme” stress responses and unlock yield potential.
  • Proven results: Over 40 years of innovation helping maize, wheat, soybeans and vegetables bounce back and thrive.
  • It’s a cutting-edge shield against abiotic stress for your crops.
  • Detoxification of toxic compounds from stress metabolism.
  • You get stronger crops with better performance under pressure.

Lusungu Sibande, Portfolio and Campaign Lead for Biologicals and Fungicides, tells farmers more about the MEGAFOL product at the Mkushi Farm Expo in Zambia.

MEGAFOL™ protects crops

MEGAFOL™ works for maize, wheat and soybean, but most Zambian farmers plant vegetables like tomatoes. MEGAFOL™ shields your vegetables against.

  • Heat stress: Flower/fruit drop, poor pollination, reduced fruit quality
  • Cold stress: Chilling injury, growth cessation, frost kills plants, poor fruit set
  • Hail damage: Fruit bruising/scarring (unmarketable), stem/leaf damage, increased disease risk, high economic loss
