Release® is registered for rice, wheat, and sorghum, Release®is a superior quality seed treatment formulation of gibberellic acid (GA3) plant growth regulator that activates the germination process and stimulates active seedling development in the early stages of seedling growth. Release improves germination rate and accelerates plant emergence. The effect allows for treated seed to be planted deeper, where more moisture is available, thus reducing costly flushes. Release also helps establish more uniform stands, making timing of herbicide, fertilizer, fungicide, and insecticide applications more precise and effective. The overall improvement in yield and quality makes Release a sensible investment for growers of rice and other grain crops.

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.

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.

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.
