Stockton enters an official distribution agreement for Timorex Gold® with Duwest in the Dominican Republic

Israeli biopesticide company Stockton STK recently announced that they signed a distribution agreement with Duwest Dominicana in the Dominican Republic for Timorex Gold®.



As the world’s population increases and the need for food sustainability grows by trade and/or consumers, Stockton STK continually invests in research and development to bring new sustainable crop protection solutions to the farmer.

Timorex Gold® is a biofungicide which provides an effective, sustainable solution that improves productivity and efficiency of the crop, lowering residues in the food production while reducing chemical load and negative environmental impacts.

Timorex Gold® has been sold by Duwest in the Dominican Republic for the past 8 years, in the organic banana sector with excellent results in the control of the fungus Micosphaerella fijensis. This fungus is the cause of a terrible plague known as Black Sigatoka, which affects and damages banana plantations around the world.

“Stockton has been partners with Duwest for many years now. The synergy between both companies is very high as we are committed to improving yield production without compromising environmental integrity so that the farmer can safely produce sustainable, healthy, high quality food.” explained Guy Elitzur, CEO of Stockton STK. “This is another significant confirmation of our product’s platform, paving the way for the flow of our new and innovative products and for sustainable crop protection.”

“We are pleased to continue our business relationship with Stockton STK that began over 8 years ago,” Randolfo Funez, Country Manager of Duwest Dominican. “There is no doubt in our mind that Timorex Gold® is an effective tool in the fight against Black Sigatoka and other plant diseases.”

Timorex Gold®, equivalent to chemical fungicides and is suitable to be used in conventional and organic agriculture, meets the demand of modern agriculture without compromising environmental integrity so that the farmer can safely produce sustainable, healthy, high quality food. Timorex Gold® is registered and sold in over 30 countries worldwide, achieves high performance in disease control and the reduction of chemical pesticides waste.
