Tackling Botrytis on Colombian cut flowers
Partnering with ANASAC, Eden will be looking to bring Mevalone to the Colombian cut flower market to prevent and treat outbreaks of Botrytis cinerea in ornamental crops. ANASAC's appointment as the Company's exclusive distribution partner in the region precedes a regulatory application to allow the specific use of Eden’s biofungicide product on cut flowers and other ornamental crops. Colombia is the world's second-largest exporter of cut flowers, and the market represents the nation's 6th largest export, with the US importing approximately $1.35 billion of the product annually.

New Seed Treatment Unveiled - Ecovelex™
In close partnership with Corteva Agriscience, Eden Research has unveiled a new seed treatment - Ecovelex™. The product has been developed to tackle crop destruction caused by birds - a major cause of losses in maize and other crops. Ecovelex works by affecting the bird's olfactory system, creating an unpleasant taste or odour that repels the birds, leaving the seeds safely intact and the birds unaffected and free to find alternative food sources.
Eden has applied for the authorization of Ecovelex in the EU, with an application in the UK to follow, with Corteva Agriscience as its distribution partner. For more information, follow this link.
