Syngenta AG, the world’s third-biggest seed company, plans to challenge Monsanto Co. with next year’s launch of Viptera corn seeds genetically modified to combat damaging insects, Chief Executive Officer Michael Mack said.
“Viptera is going to put us in not only a competitive position, but we are going to have the best trait in the marketplace for the control of those insects,” Mack said yesterday in a New York interview.
