ORO AGRI,
Inc. and
BioWorks Inc. signed an agreement to allow BioWorks to
market ORO Agri’s technology under the trade name TriCon™ to the
professional nursery/horticulture market in the US effective
immediately. BioWorks will begin a full launch of TriCon by the
end of the first Quarter of 2006 with product available in the
distribution channel by March 15th. ORO Agri continues to expand
its marketing and distribution of PREV-AM for the agricultural
markets.
“Our evaluation of TriCon involved numerous research and grower
trials in which we tested TriCon as a standalone material and as
a tank-mix partner. We were very pleased with the level of
disease and insect control and crop safety we documented in
these trials” stated Dr. Randy Martin, BioWorks Director of
Product Development.
“BioWorks is very pleased to add TriCon™ to our product line”
according to John Francis, BioWorks Director of Marketing and
Technical Services. “TriCon, Tri – three tools: insecticide,
fungicide and surfactant, Con - contact action, effectively
expands a grower’s options for pest control and resistance
management. TriCon fits well with the BioWorks strategy of
providing environmentally responsible, safe and cost effective
solutions to the horticultural industry. We’re confident that
growers will use TriCon in their pest control program, either as
a stand alone product or as a tank-mix partner, reducing the
chance of chemical pesticide resistance while improving overall
pest control efficacy, and saving money doing so.”
“This is a bold step forward toward the achievement of our
vision”, says Mark Russell, ORO AGRI’s National Director of
Sales. “BioWorks is a great company, really focused on the
nursery and greenhouse production industry, and who, like us, is
seeking creative ways to expand its sales and marketing reach in
order to maintain aggressive growth. We see a great fit between
the two firms to provide the nursery market segment with TriCon,
which has a solid fit for nursery growers. We are delighted with
the agreement and collaborative relationship”.
