“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, Solanaceae, 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,” told us 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.”
