Isagro USA, Inc. announced it signed an agreement to exclusively distribute Taegro 2 biofungicide in the United States and Canada. The BioAg Alliance is a long-term partnership between Monsanto Company and Novozymes.

Taegro 2 provides broad-spectrum protection of major soil-borne and foliar diseases in fruit and vegetable crops.
