Marrone Introduces New Fungicide

Avatar for Matt Hopkins By Andrea Klosterman Harris|24 September 2008

Marrone Organic’s press release describes Regalia SC, made from an extract of giant knotweed, as turning on the plants’ natural defense mechanisms; the plants then produce and accumulate higher levels of natural proteins that inhibit disease development. The company says the pesticide, which has gone through over 100 field trials, provides the same level of control as conventional fungicides.

Earlier this month, Marrone Organic added US $900,000 in new financing to the $10 million it closed on this summer.
