Certis Europe to distribute fungicide Japica in Spain

Certis Europe has been appointed distributor for Japica in Spain. The product will be included in the company’s crop protection product catalogue from next season.

This appointment by Kumiai, a Certis Europe shareholder since early 2010, is further evidence of its support for the company in Spain, and provides the addition of this new speciality product to the Certis range of IPM compatible fungicides, which already includes Cercobin and Tusal.

Japica is formulated on a base of Mepanipyrim and registered by the Spanish Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs (registration number 23037).  It is included in Annex 1 of the Directive 91/414 for the control of botrytis in strawberries, vines, aubergines and tomatoes.

The addition of Japica to the Certis Europe portfolio demonstrates the continuing growth of the company in Spain. It is Certis Europe’s aim to become a leading company in crop protection and to provide solutions that will help its customers develop their businesses.  This is being achieved through carefully implemented strategies and goals that are fully endorsed by shareholders, Mitsui, Nisso, Chemtura and Kumiai.
