Biotech advance in grape controls
The New Zealand Herald
27.08.05
Dunedin biotechnology company BOTRY-Zen is looking to add another two biological controls to its product suite.
Chief executive John Scandrett told the company's annual meeting that it was evaluating the commercial prospects of two newly developed controls for grape diseases to add to its BOTRY-Zen biological control for the grape-wasting botrytis cinera fungus.
BOTRY-Zen has an agreement with the New Zealand Wine Institute and HortResearch for new products, and a $200,000 grant it has received from the Wine Institute will help with the evaluation.
