Israel-based STK Bio-ag Technologies has partnered with local manufacturer and distributor of agricultural chemicals LEADS Agri Agricultural Products Corp. to bring organic and botanical-based fungicides to the Philippine market. Last week, through its subsidiary Stockton-Agrimor Philippines Inc., STK signed an exclusive distribution agreement with LEADS Agri.
STK developed the tea tree oil-based fungicides TIMOREX GOLD and REGEV, pioneering the development of botanical-based solutions for a sustainable agricultural environment.
TIMOREX GOLD contains tea tree oil as its active ingredient to control Black Sigatoka, one of the major diseases of banana, which causes the banana leaves to turn yellowish and brown. It is the first registered organic fungicide for Black Sigatoka in the Philippines pursuant to Republic Act 10068 or the Organic Agriculture Act of 2010 and certified organic by the Organic Certification Center of the Philippines.
