Other crop protection products

Plant growth regulators, thinning agents, soil fumigants, etc

Ensuring a crop produces a profitable yield may require a crop protection product other than a pesticide, be it conventional or biological.

A number of other products aid productivity, such as plant growth regulators and thinning agents. A brief list of the miscellaneous Fruitfed Supplies-exclusive crop protection products follows, but ask in-store if you’re looking for something specific. As always, we recommend you check product use with your exporter, where applicable.
