Ragalia

You may be wondering what Regalia is. Regalia is a proven, environmentally friendly new product that protects food and decorative crops from both fungal as well as bacterial diseases. When your crops are treated with Regalia, the plant's immune system is triggered to defend against pathogens. This effective and very unique product from Marrone Bio Innovations is an excellent fungicide management tool. Regalia is a patented formula of an extract derived from the giant knotweed plant. Regalia's unique method of action activates the plant's natural defense mechanisms in order to inhibit the development of major diseases, including bacterial spot, bacterial speck, target spot, powdery mildew, gray mold, late and early blight. Extensive research shows after being treated with Regalia from Marrone Bio Innovations, plants produce and accumulate highly elevated levels of proteins and other compounds known to greatly inhibit fungal development.

For example, Regalia will induce a plant to produce cell strengtheners, antioxidants, and PR proteins, which are widely known to fight pathogens that infect plants. Regalia also causes a dramatic increase in the production of phytoalexins, which are the 'antibiotics' produced by a plant when under attack which act as toxins to the attacking organism. The main objective of any resistance management product is to reduce the probability of resistance to a particular active ingredient. Integrating Regalia into your existing fungicide regimen provides a novel mode of action to aid in the prevention of resistance. With Regalia, you also have are afforded flexibility. Regalia can be used in rotation sprays or as a tank mix partner with many commercially available fungicides. For best results, Regalia is recommended as a preventative treatment. For the best results, apply at the rate of 0.5-1.0% in 50 to 100 gallons of water per acre of crop. Add 0.02% wetting agent at the recommended label rate.

Use the spray mixture preventatively at the 4-6 leaf plant stage and repeat spraying every 7-14 days depending on disease pressure. Regalia is recommended at 0.5% v/v rate in a tank mix with properly labeled rates of Maneb, Mancozeb, or any copper products for wide range control of bacterial speck, target spot, tomato late blight and gray mold. Regalia has a re-entry interval of 24 hours and a 0 PHI when used at the 0.5% v/v rate. At Marrone BioInnovations, they communicate openly and honestly and respect the views of others.
