PHC,T H Agri-Chemicals sign distribution pact in US

Plant Health Care PLC recently said it has signed a distribution agreement with T H Agri-Chemcials Inc for the use of the company's proprietary Harpin protein technology for application on speciality crops in the US.

Plant Health Care said the deal will see TH Agri-Chemicals distribute Plant Health Care's Harpin protein under the private label brand MessengerGold. The idea is that the protein will improve plant health in the speciality crops in TH Agri-Chemical's market area, said the company.

TH Agri-Chemcials is an independent US-based corporation that supports agriculture and farming, Plant Health said.

"Long term relationships like this validate that Harpin technology improves plant health in commercially grown crops. This is another step forward in growing commercial sales of Harpin," said Chief Executive Paul Schmidt.
