About

We stand for providing future generations of crop growers with new generation products to help combat plant disease. We are focussed in developing products that fit the mandate internationally and in this niche area we are passionately driven to succeed.

Back in 2001, we were given the task to commercialise one product for the wine Industry, and so BOTRY-Zen® was born. Two other products have since been added to the company portfolio, which gives us the opportunity to provide an integrated spray programme for the full growing season.

In 2007, the New Zealand Winegrowers Association launched an ambitious sustainability policy, which targeted seven key areas to focus on. That of biodiversity; soil, water and air; energy, chemicals, by-products, people, and business practices. Central to their sustainability policy was a commitment to keep improving as new research was undertaken and new technologies developed. They are actively involved in both these areas, with an ongoing leadership role in industry research and development projects.

In 2024 three more products were added to the Botry-Zen portfolio. One is an alternative to our wettable powder product so that it can be used for bee vectoring (a new dispensing system to use bees to vector biological products to target plants during flowering). A second product was certified as an organic input as a biological seed treatment. And the third as a bio-fertiliser, putting much needed organisms, minerals and nutrients back into soils.
