Timorex Gold® supports growers in more than 30 countries globally to increase profitability through improved quality, higher yield potential and resistance management support. A multi-targeted solution based on terpenes from tea tree oil, Timorex Gold® is effective against a broad range of diseases including black/yellow sigatoka, powdery mildew, rhizopus, botrytis, early blight, and cladosporium.
Timorex Gold® is a preventative and suppressive product that inhibits various stages of the fungal life cycle through cell membrane disruption and induced systematic resistance. Therefore, it prepares the plant to protect itself against fungal attacks as well as having control effects on diseases.
“We are pleased about this new partnership with STK. It will allow us to provide growers with more tools, helping them to increase the productivity and quality of their crops,” said Rodrigo Pifano, Specialty Crops Marketing Manager, BASF Brazil. “This effective product will bring additional value to our customers who face increasing challenges.”
“Timorex Gold® will become our first biological fungicide for specialty crops in Brazil. This step demonstrates our strategy to support growers’ performance with the best solutions of chemistry and biology,” said Graeme Gowling, global Marketing lead for biological crop care, BASF Crop Protection.
STK Brazil Country Manager, Marcelo Peres commented, “We are pleased to be collaborating with BASF on the expanded distribution of Timorex Gold® throughout Brazil.”
STK CEO Guy Elitzur added, “Timorex Gold® is a highly effective botanical-based biofungicide used successfully in over 30 countries around the world. Timorex Gold® also won the Agrow Award for “Best Biopesticide of the Year.”
Timorex Gold efficacy is maximized when the product is integrated into a pest management program. It can be used alone, alternating with other solutions, or in combination with treatment programs built by integrating the context of the crop production (crop varieties, disease pressure etc).
The financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.
