Posted by Jackie Pucci|20 November 2018

Terramera announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved registration of its novel, broad-spectrum agricultural insect, fungal disease, and mite control product RANGO, which will commercially launch today.

RANGO contains highly effective, plant-based active ingredients built into a proprietary formulation with superior mixing and handling qualities. RANGO protects vegetables, fruits, berries/grapes, tree crops, row crops, ornamental plants and greenhouse/horticultural crops against a broad range of plant pests and diseases.

“RANGO is our next generation, high performance plant-based product providing triple-protection against insects, fungal diseases and mites. This new product enables farmers to integrate a natural alternative, without having to change their farming or spraying practices. RANGO can be used on its own for superior control, or in rotation, expanding the use of plant-based products for both organic and conventional agriculture,” said Karn Manhas, Terramera Founder and CEO.

RANGO is OMRI Listed for use in organic agriculture, can be used as an effective tool for conventional farming, and is essential for any Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

The newest product in the expanding Terramera portfolio, RANGO has a unique mode of action, superior emulsion and stability properties, a zero-day pre-harvest interval and 4-hour re-entry, protecting against and treating a wide variety of insects, including aphids, mites, thrips, worms, whiteflies, and fungal diseases such as botrytis, fusarium and powdery mildew.
