Regulex® 10 SG banner

Regulex® 10 SG

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

Regulex® 10 SG is a mixture of two gibberellic acid (GA) plant growth regulators: GA4 and GA7. Regulex is used to improve fruit finish by reducing russeting of Golden Delicious apples. When applied from early petal fall until 40 days after full bloom it conditions the skin cells of apples, making them more elastic and able to withstand extremes in moisture and relative humidity. In Europe, Regulex is also used to set fruit on pears when a frost occurs during bloom.

Berelex® 40 SG banner

Berelex® 40 SG

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

Berelex® 40 SG is a gibberellic acid (GA3) plant growth regulator registered for use on table grapes, wine grapes, citrus, vegetables, and rice. Berelex® is a gibberellic acid (GA3) plant growth regulator registered for use on table grapes, wine grapes, citrus, vegetables, and rice.

Functions:Insecticide
Insecticide Target Species:Caterpillars, Moths
IRAC Code:28

DiPel® is a biological insecticide containing the naturally occurring microorganism Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (Btk). For the manufacture of DiPel, VBC selected a proprietary, high yielding Btk strain (ABTS-351). Globally, DiPel has become a cornerstone insecticide in many IPM programs as it offers high quality, cost-effective, broad-spectrum caterpillar control on more than 200 crops, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, vines, cotton, oil palm, and corn. Specific registrations vary by country.

Novodor® banner

Functions:Insecticide
Insecticide Target Species:Beetles

Novodor® is a foliar applied, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis insecticide specialized for Colorado potato beetle and Elm Leaf beetle control. Novodor can be applied anytime from bloom to harvest due to its highly selective CPB and Elm Leaf beetle toxicity profile. Novodor is also suitable for most organic production systems. Novodor is the selective insecticide of choice for crops that must be managed to the highest level of ecological scrutiny.

ProVide® banner

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

ProVide® is registered in the Americas, ProVide® is a mixture of two gibberellic acid (GA) plant growth regulators: GA4 and GA7. ProVide conditions skin cells in apples, making them more elastic and able to withstand extremes in moisture and relative humidity. ProVide is used to improve fruit finish by reducing russeting and other physiological skin disorders such as flecking and scarf skin. Applied late season, it suppresses the incidence of cracking in Stayman apples.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

BioNik® plant growth regulator is a 25% formulation of s-abscisic acid (s-ABA) tailored for hybrid seed corn production. S-ABA is one of the five classes of plant growth regulators naturally present in plants, and controls numerous plant growth processes including dormancy, fruit ripening, fruit set, fruit coloring, abscission, germination, and response to stress conditions.

XenTari® banner

Functions:Insecticide
Insecticide Target Species:Caterpillars, Armyworms
IRAC Code:28

XenTari® is the world’s only biological insecticide containing a natural, potent strain (ABTS-1857) of the microorganism Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies aizawai (Bta). It controls caterpillar pests on vegetables, fruits, nuts, row crops, and turf (specific registrations vary by country). XenTari is proven to provide exceptional control of key problem pests such as armyworms and diamondback moth larvae. As a native Bt strain, XenTari contains insecticidal toxin proteins that are typically found in other Bt subspecies (typical Bta and Btk). XenTari features a balanced blend of four potent toxin proteins and a spore, targeting key pests at levels few biological products can match.

Functions:Plant Growth Regulator (PGR)

PoMaxa® is a potent auxin-based plant growth regulator to assist pome fruit growers with apple and pear thinning, apple and pear harvest management and return bloom in apples.

DiTera® Grapes banner

DiTera® Grapes

Functions:Insecticide, Nematicide

DiTera® Grapes is a microbial nematicide derived from the microorganism Myrothecium verrucaria. DiTera provides significant plant health benefits resulting in higher crop yields and an excellent return on investment. Use of DiTera can increase root and shoot vigor, enhance root nutrient uptake and result in enhanced foliage color. DiTera acts by selectively controlling plant parasitic nematodes that affect the root systems of many economic crops including vegetables, tomatoes, cole crops, grapes, stone fruit, citrus, nut crops, bananas, pineapples, turf, and ornamentals.

Product Families:Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) & Harvest Aids

PinCor® is a highly effective plant growth regulator containing aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). PinCor inhibits the biosynthesis of ethylene in plant tissues. On pineapple, ethylene is responsible for inducing flowering, a key stage in fruit development.

Activol® is a gibberellic acid (GA3) plant growth regulator registered for use on table grapes, tomatoes, and potatoes. A highly effective growth promoter, Activol is used to increase size and quality of fruits, vegetables and other crops. It is essential for optimum growth and development and plays a role in the regulation of other plant processes such as flowering, seed germination, dormancy and senescence.

Valent BioSciences Corporation ProTone

Product Families:Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) & Harvest Aids

ProTone® contains s-abscisic acid (ABA), a plant growth regulator found naturally in plants. ProTone enhances color development in red table grapes by initiating the rapid accumulation of red pigments into the skin of the berries. ProTone-treated grapes have a natural appearance and maintain good quality at harvest and throughout shipping and storage.

Valent BioSciences Corporation ReTain banner

Valent BioSciences Corporation ReTain

Product Families:Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) & Harvest Aids

ReTain® plant growth regulator contains aminoethoxyvinylglycine (HCL), a naturally occurring substance that temporarily inhibits ethylene production. Ethylene affects plant processes such as fruit set, maturation, ripening, and abscission. By inhibiting the production of ethylene in developing fruit, the entire maturing process is slowed.
