Stockton’s Timorex Gold Biofungicide Approved in Macedonia

Posted by Jackie Pucci|4 February 2015

Stockton Israel, a developer of plant-based biopesticides, announced that its Timorex Gold biofungicide was granted a new product registration by the registration authorities of Macedonia. Per the approved label, the product is registered for the control of blight in tomato and potato, downy mildew in lettuce, and gray mold in grapes.

Timorex Gold is suitable for integrated conventional and organic production, and can be integrated into IP-spray programs. The product is harmless to humans, animals, beneficial insects and bees, and is safe for the ecosystem, soil and groundwater.

Plant pathogens have traditionally been controlled by chemical fungicides. However, with the increasing demand for pesticide-free foods, new control strategies are being adopted. Timorex Gold, a residue-free product, is an effective tool in resistance management, making it an outstanding tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, Stockton said.

Stockton adds Macedonia to the group of more than 26 countries already using Timorex Gold in organic and conventional farming to control a broad spectrum of bacterial and fungal diseases across an array of agricultural crops.
