The delegation visited table grapes growers and technicians who use Timorex Gold regularly within their spraying programs and learned from their experience. The Peruvian delegation was composed of farmers, technicians and researchers from the two main table grapes’ production regions in Peru.
Timorex Gold® is a natural broad-spectrum fungicide with curative and preventative action on the main diseases that affect the table grape production in Chile and Peru, such as powdery mildew, Botrytis and sour rot. Due to its unique mechanism of action, it is possible to make resistant management of fungicides, allowing in addition to reduce the chemical load of the crop protection programs due that Timorex Gold® leaves no residues on grapes. This has allowed to achieve healthy and zero residues table grapes production to be commercialized and exported to any market.
