“Nowadays, biopesticides are much more aligned with the future of the agricultural sector. I am proud to be part of the STK team, which develops and brings to market new and effective biopesticides, including the innovative tea tree oil (TTO) based products with their unique multi – functional activity. This unique multi – functional activity presents different modes of action and is assisting the farmer in improving the quality of their yields, serving as a unique tool for resistance management and ensuring better control over pests and diseases in a sustainable way”.
