On the first day of the congress, the company participated in the discussion, titled, "From Knowledge to Practice: Panel of Experts and New Tools for Sanitary Management."

The discussion was given by INTA technicians Lucrecia Couretot and Juan Pablo Edwards Molina; consultant Margarita Sillon; Roberto de Rossi, Plant Protection Specialist from the Catholic University of Córdoba, and Guillermo Indaco, Regional Market Coordinator of Sumitomo Chemical. The panel was moderated by Agro TV journalist Diego Peydro.

During the three-day event, producers, technicians, engineers and the general public stopped by Sumitomo Chemical’s stand to talk with its specialists to learn more about upcoming launches and the company's solutions for crops.
