Marrone Bio Innovations Inc. has signed a major distribution agreement with Syngenta Crop Protection AG to exclusively distribute Marrone’s biofungicide Regalia in specialty crop markets throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Regalia boosts plants’ natural immune defenses to control fungal and bacterial diseases.
Regalia is labeled for greenhouse use on many edible crops and ornamentals. It is recognized as fully compliant for use on organic crops by the National Organic Program and is OMRI listed. Regalia is used for bacterial disease control on tomatoes, peppers, citrus and walnuts, and mildew control in leafy greens, cucurbits, berries and vines.
Regalia has a minimal re-entry interval and a zero day pre-harvest interval. It will be submitted for the EU’s Annex 1 inclusion this spring.
