STK, the Israeli-based producer of bio-ag crop protection solutions, has named Neal Job as USA business manager.
He will be responsible for continuing the US rollout of botanical-based biofungicide Timorex Gold, which has been approved by 40 states, and is used in over 30 countries worldwide.
Job will also continue the rollout of new Aviv, a ‘low-dose’ microbial biofungicide (Bacillus subtilis), which delivers broad spectrum disease control in both soil and on plant surfaces. AVIV is currently approved for use in 26 US states.
Prior to joining STK, Job worked at Cultiva, Marrone Bio Innovations and Syngenta.
“STK is pleased to have Neal Job as a key member of our team, heading one of our most important markets,” said STK CEO Guy Elitzur.
“Neal is a longtime expert on biopesticides generally, is highly experienced in the technologies of STK, and is well-positioned to continue helping growers, PCA’s and others along the food supply chain as USA business manager.”
Job added, “ I’m happy to join STK Bio-ag technologies and look forward to introducing many more US growers and others to the benefits of Timorex Gold and other STK technologies, including resistance management, residue reduction, faster arrival to retail, longer shelf life at retail, and greater competitiveness in US and international export markets”.
