New ‘hybrid’ fungicide approved by Peru
REGEV is the first product of its kind in the market, which is a mix of biological
and soft chemicals. "REGEV creates a unique hybrid solution that delivers a
synergetic effect and a sustainable disease control for fruits, vegetables and row
crops, such as rice and potatoes. This hybrid fungicide significantly reduces
chemical residue on crops, and decreases possible harmful effects to the
environment, farmers and consumers. This is a breakthrough concept
formulation which creates a bridge to future biological product use, enabling
growers in all sectors and geographies to reduce their ecological footprint and
thrive economically to better meet the demand for sustainable food protection."
According to Mario Pozo, STK Peru Country Manager,” We are pleased to
provide an effective and sustainable new tool for Peruvian growers, enabling
them to better combat resistance, increase yields, produce cleaner, healthier
foods for the Peruvian people, and make Peruvian exports more competitive in
global markets which increasingly require lower residue levels for entry.
STK CEO Guy Elitzur added, “STK’s flagship biofungicide TIMOREX GOLD® has
been helping growers in Peru and throughout South and Central America to
combat diseases and increase yields for many years. Based on this history of
achievement, and STK REGEV’s excellent field test results, we look forward to
bringing this cutting-edge ‘hybrid’ technology to Peru, and soon, to growers
throughout Latin America and the rest of the world.”
