Mevalone® has been granted regulatory authorisation in Germany for use on grapevines and apples, enabling professional growers to manage Botrytis and reduce storage diseases with a plant-based, residue-free solution. With Germany’s cool climate increasing the risk of fungal outbreaks in vineyards and orchards, Mevalone offers high efficacy and a short pre-harvest interval. Partnering with Sumi Agro Europe, the product is positioned to serve Germany’s large wine and apple sectors as a key tool in the shift toward more sustainable agriculture.

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.

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.
