"The CleanPetal™ Approach for Botrytis is a must for all farms"
“In business, there is no room for guesswork. You need to do everything right.” That is how Isaya Henia Muiru, Group Head of Quality at Sian Flowers™, describes the value of Botrytis resistance testing.
After working with FlowerWatch and implementing the CleanPetal™ Approach, the benefits were clear for his team.
“Now we know which products work, and when a chemical needs to rest. We only buy what we need, so our cost savings have been significant. The investment in this programme compared to what you save in a single month is not even comparable.”
There were also important benefits for customers and the environment.
“When a product works, one dose is enough. This means fewer chemicals, lower minimum residue levels, safer conditions for the people who spray, and it’s better for the environment. At the same time, we avoid other problems like downy mildew that appear when you spray too much or when the flower stays wet for too long.”
“The team is really happy. This model is helping us so much, and we are excited to keep working together.”
