Certis to market fermentation based fungicide

In Maryland, a collaborative effort between Certis U.S.A. L.L.C. and Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., of Tokyo, Japan has led to the availability of Novel fungicide. The new disease control product is intended for use on residential turf, landscapes, fruit trees and vegetable gardens, and will be available at local home and garden centers by year-end 2014. Certis will market Novel fungicide as a concentrate to be mixed in water or fertilizer solutions plus the concentrate can be used as a ready-to-spray to easily treat home lawns for broad-spectrum control of foliar diseases, such as Rhizoctonia brown patch. Novel fungicide also controls Alternaria, Botrytis, powdery mildew and other diseases.
