Vestaron Corporation and Simplot Grower Solutions have officially announced a distribution agreement that brings together Vestaron's novel insecticides and Simplot Grower Solutions' network and agronomic expertise, to deliver sustainable and effective crop protection solutions to growers across the country.
Vestaron has developed and commercialized a range of novel peptide-based insecticides that offer a compelling alternative to traditional chemical products and the growing resistance they face. These products are designed to manage pest challenges while minimizing environmental and biodiversity impacts (including pollinator and worker safety), aligning with the shifting agri-food regulatory landscape. The SPEAR® LEP insecticide brand is proving highly effective on tree nuts, fruits, vegetables, and high-value specialty crops. Targeting lepidopteran pests, field trials of SPEAR LEP demonstrate results equivalent or superior to conventional insecticides. With its novel mode of action, MRL exemption, 4-hour REI, and 0-day PHI, SPEAR LEP is a revolutionary new tool for IPM programs.
"We are excited to join forces with Simplot Grower Solutions – a company with a storied history of innovation on behalf of agriculture – to bring Vestaron's novel solutions to a broader audience for greater adoption. This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to transform agriculture by providing farmers with the novel solutions they need to meet the growing challenges of modern agriculture," said Ben Cicora, SVP Sales and Marketing at Vestaron.
"Simplot, a major innovator in the agribusiness sector for over 90 years, is a total solutions agricultural supply company that boasts an extensive infrastructure. By joining forces with Vestaron, Simplot Grower Solutions aims to enhance its portfolio of sustainable solutions, providing farmers with access to cutting-edge technologies that contribute to both productivity and environmental stewardship. Simplot is proud to partner with Vestaron in our commitment to delivering the leading biological crop protection solutions our farmer customers require.
