Timorex Gold Biofungicide Now a Tool for California Growers
Summit Agro USA has announced registration in California for Timorex Gold, its botanical broad-spectrum fungicide. The biofungicide product, which is used in nearly 40 countries worldwide, provides control of many common fungal and bacterial diseases including powdery mildews, early blight, and Botrytis in a wide range of crops.
According to Summit Agro, the development of Timorex Gold was based on a complex blend of natural chemicals from a plant extract from the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia). The product features a wide range of features and benefits that include:
- Multiple modes of action
- Control of a wide range of plant pathogens, particularly bacterial and ascomycete diseases
- Resistance management
- No residues; no MRL
- No measurable effect on beneficial insects and bees
- Easily adapted into sustainable and IPM practices
- Non-persistent in the environment
“Timorex Gold has been specifically formulated to keep early season disease pressures low,” said Fred Yates, Summit Agro Marketing Manager, in a prepared news release. “It also can be used late in the season due to its short PHI and REI requirements.”
Timorex Gold is sold exclusively through Helena Agri-Enterprises and Tenkoz members companies.
