Tidal Grow® Spectra™ Now Approved for Use on California Crops
The biopesticide is designed to enhance integrated pest management programs for tree nuts, citrus, and grapes
Tidal Grow® AgriScience, a division of Tidal Vision Products Inc., is pleased to begin offering Tidal Grow® Spectra™ in California. Tidal Grow® Spectra™ is a multi-functional, biopesticide that aids in the control of agricultural diseases and pests while boosting plant vigor. It’s formulated for use with tree nuts, citrus crops, and all grape varieties to realize maximum yield potential of their acres.
The approval for use in California brings a new active ingredient and modes of action to a key region for specialty crop growers. The active ingredient in Tidal Grow® Spectra™ is chitosan—a natural compound derived from chitin that is sourced from upcycled crustaceans such as crab and shrimp. However, not all chitosan products are created equal due to the specific chitosan type and characterization required for the intended target action. Tidal Grow AgriScience precisely bioengineers and green manufactures its products with proprietary quality control to ensure growers receive a consistent, powerful product that delivers measurable performance and maximum ROI.
“Chitosan is a powerful active ingredient that is bio-based, yet requires precise bioengineering to deliver specific results, and we’re thrilled the California DPR has approved its use,” said Galynn Beer, VP of Global Sales. “By equipping growers with reliable chitosan-based technologies, we’re helping drive profitability by improving efficacy of existing IPM strategies, all while empowering the growth of sustainable, high-performing agricultural systems.”
Tidal Grow® Spectra™ provides its return on investment by activating natural defenses within the crop’s immune system to help combat abiotic stressors. Additionally, as a multi-functional bioactive fungicide, bactericide, and nematicide, it offers improved performance in combatting pests and pathogens more effectively when used with conventional programs. This product’s advanced chitosan-based technology can offer efficacy at lower application rates, reducing overall input costs for growers.
Benefits of Tidal Grow® Spectra™ include:
- Directly controls pests and pathogens, including Almond Blossom Blight, Shot Hole, and Powdery Mildew.
- Activates the crop’s natural immune system to help plants respond faster to stress and reduce disease vulnerability
- Improves nutrient uptake and root function to support healthier, more resilient plants
- Works synergistically with other active ingredients, like copper, to improve the efficacy of traditional crop protection products.
