Kemin Crop Technologies and Laboratoire M2 Make Deal to Distribute Thymox Control in the U.S.
March 9, 2020 Kemin Crop Technologies has announced a strategic partnership agreement with Laboratoire M2, a Canada-based technology and science company, to distribute Thymox Control, a thyme-oil-based biopesticide.
Thymox Control is a broad-spectrum, contact fungicide-bactericide concentrate designed with Laboratoire M2’s patent-pending, proprietary nano-emulsion technology. The product’s formula delivers the highly efficient and stabilized antimicrobial power of thyme oil’s active ingredient to control fungal and bacterial plant pathogens – including powdery mildew, grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), and fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) – via cell membrane disruption. Multiple trials have proven efficacy on a wide variety of commercial greenhouse plants and specialty crops such as apples, pears, wine grapes, cherries, hops, and industrial hemp. It has no re-entry interval, a zero-day pre-harvest interval, and no maximal residue limit.
Kemin Crop Technologies will be the distributor of Thymox Control in the U.S. The product is exempt from registration with the U.S. EPA and is minimal risk FIFRA 25(b)-exempt pesticide. It is registered and available for sale in more than 34 states in the U.S.
