Employ California Registration
Plant Health Care(R) , a leading provider of novel
patent-protected biological products to global agriculture markets,
announces the registration of Employ(R) , containing the active
ingredient Harpin ab, for use on Almonds, Grapes and Walnuts in
California.
Highlights:
- Plant Health Care has received regulatory approval for sales
of Employ (Harpin ab) in California
- Field trials over two years showed substantial yield increases in almonds and grapes
- Sales will start for the 2020 growing season through our
exclusive distribution partner Wilbur-Ellis, announced on June
25(th) , 2019
Plant Health Care has received approval from the California
Department of Pesticide Regulation ("CDPR") for the immediate use
of Employ on Almonds, Grapes and Walnuts for the suppression of
nematodes. The approval marks an important milestone in the
expansion of Employ into key specialty crops representing more than
2.5 million acres in California.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture ("CDFA")
estimates nematodes cause $600 million annually in crop losses. In
almonds, Employ trials conducted over the past two years
(2018-2019) in California reduced root knot nematode damage by 64%
and significantly improved yield by 11% compared to the grower
standard treatment. Employ applied to newly planted Chardonnay
grapes reduced root knot nematode damage by 25% and increased grape
bunch weight by 29% compared to the grower standard treatment.
Chris Richards, CEO of Plant Health Care said, "This is a
significant milestone for the company to receive regulatory
approval from CDPR for the use of Employ, after extensive field
trials to prove the effectiveness of the product. We are now
planning to launch Employ into these important crops over the
coming weeks with Wilbur-Ellis."
