Germains Seed Technology and Chemtura AgroSolutions in spinach disinfection deal

Germains Seed Technology is excited to announce a successful collaboration with Chemtura AgroSolutions, a division of Chemtura Corporation and a leading niche developer and manufacturer of agrochemicals. As a result of this collaboration, Germains can now offer an exciting development for the seed industry in plant health, in the form of gopure, powered by Rancona technology. Both parties have signed an exclusive agreement which will see Germains as the sole supplier of this powerful and unique technology for spinach seed applications in the U.S.

Germains R&D Manager, Dale Krolikowski, said “gopure is supported by years of research, primarily looking at how to support the terrible effect Verticillium Wilt has had on Salinas Valley Growers crops.

Paul Thomson, Director of Third Party Technology, at Chemtura AgroSolutions said “Chemtura is constantly striving to deliver high-quality, efficacious products to enhance quality and yield in selected markets. This opportunity to work with Germains, a recognised leader in seed technology, and deliver an innovative solution such as gopure powered by Rancona technology, is very exciting for us.”

Germains Business Director, Cathy Farr, continued “Both companies recognise the benefits of collaborative partnerships, and this seemed a natural fit. We both want to deliver industry-leading technologies that offer value to the Grower, and Rancona powered gopure is one of the best examples of satisfying this need, while delivering strong, healthy seeds to the horticultural industry.”
