Their product suite, including Botry-Zen, Mid-Zen, and Armour-Zen, provides environmentally sustainable alternatives to synthetic fungicides for use in viticulture and berry production. Botry-Zen focuses on integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to reduce chemical residues in food crops and improve export quality.
