Israeli biologicals company the Stockton Group has obtained from the Colombian Agricultural Institute – ICA – this September, the right to extend the use of its product Timorex Gold to control leaf spot (Cercospora nicotianae – Alternaria sp) 在烟草种植中。
该公司表示，作为一种预防和治疗叶病的生物制品，Timorex Gold 被认为是对烟草生产商的宝贵贡献。在烟草种植中使用该产品将使烟草种植者收获更健康、质量更好的烟叶，使其在市场上更具竞争力。
“Timorex Gold has proven its effectiveness and benefits to important crops in Colombia today where it is registered, and where it is marketed for rice, 茄科, roses, onion, corn, coffee, and banana cultivations. Now, with this new approval, new opportunities for the farmer continue to open with the addition of this new fungicide to their portfolio of solutions for integrated pest management (IPM) in tobacco in a sustainable manner,” said Jose Antonio Estevez, Stockton Group Manager in Colombia. “In Colombia, we get stronger every day as far as major crops are concerned, and initiate the development of other innovative tools we hope to have available on the market next year.”
