Syngenta Crop Protection and Agrauxine by Lesaffre have signed an agreement to private label and exclusively distribute products STROVEQ® and SPREXIMA® in the U.S. ornamental market.

STROVEQ is a systemic resistance inducer and SPREXIMA is a biofungicide and both utilize Agrauxine’s unique strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. STROVEQ is a systemic resistance Inducer (SRI) that acts preventively to prepare plants to defend against fungal attacks. SPREXIMA prevents disease infections by protecting fruits, flowers and wounds.

“We are extremely excited to partner with Syngenta,” states Ariel Gohlke, North American Regional Manager for Agrauxine. “This agreement is another opportunity to expand the reach of our technology. Syngenta will be an excellent partner for us to reach more markets with our unique products.”

The agreement gives Syngenta the rights to sell the products through its own distribution channels in the U.S. for the next five years.
