“Collaborating with TQC effectively opens another interesting opportunity for Timorex Gold® in the region”, said Ziv Tirosh, CEO of Stockton Group. “We believe that TQC’s expertise and experience in sustainable crop protection, will position us to expand the footprint of Timorex Gold® in the Peruvian market. This agreement is very meaningful due to the continued growth of the high value crops in Peru which is expected to continue in the next years”.
Timorex Gold® can be used in rotations with other products, in tank mixes and as a stand-alone product.
