Regalia CG 1Gl OMRI ( Reynoutria sachalinensis ) Biofungicide (Regalia PTO)

Regalia CG is a natural biofungicide extracted from the giant knotweed plant (Reynoutria sachalinensis). It operates by aiding plants in constructing their own defense against many of the most common diseases. The blending capabilities also make it a great tool for organic and conventional growers.

Key Benefits

Regalia® CG provides benefits that promote healthy crops and efficient farm operations:

Organic Certification

• OMRI-listed for use in certified organic production.
• Meets strict standards for natural products.

Reduced Chemical Use

• It can substitute or mitigate the requirement for synthetic fungicides.
• Supports slowing the development of resistance in pathogens.

Stress Tolerance

• Enhances total plant vigor.
• Enhances the plant’s response to drought, heat and other stresses.

Zero Residue

• Exempt from food-tolerance requirements.
• Allows harvest right after application in most cases.

Application Methods

There are several ways that growers can use Regalia® CG depending on their operation:

Foliar Spray

• Dilute with water and apply as a foliar spray with ground, aerial or backpack sprayers.
• Covers both upper and lower leaf surfaces to trigger ISR throughout the plant.

Soil Drench or Chemigation

• Apply through drip or broadcast over the soil.
• Kills soil borne pathogens but does not eliminate the plant’s defences.

Tank Mix Compatibility

• Can be combined with many other fungicides and foliar nutrients.
• Check labels to ensure compatibility and avoid phytotoxicity.

Recommended Timing

To achieve the best effects, the sprays should be carefully planned:

• Start applications as soon as possible, prior to infection. Apply at 7–14 day intervals or as needed based upon disease development.
• Alternate Regalia® CG with synthetic or other biofungicides. This rotation can aid in resistance management and widen disease control.
• Boost the spray repeatedly or apply a compatible partner product. Adjust the time to scout those fields regularly.

Suitable Crops and Uses

Regalia® CG fits a wide range of crops and settings:

• Fruits and Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, apples and more.
• Ornamentals and Turf: Flowers, shrubs, lawns and golf courses.
• Field Crops: Soybean, corn and wheat in integrated pest management (IPM) systems.

Safety and Environmental Impact

Regalia® CG is formulated with user safety in mind as well as the environment:

Worker Safety

• Four-hour re-entry interval (REI).
• No pre-harvest interval (PHI) for most crops.

Non-Target Organisms

• Low toxicity to beneficial insects, earthworms and soil microorganisms.
• Safe for pollinators when used as directed.

Environmental Persistence

• Breaks down naturally in soil and water.
• Leaves no harmful residues in runoff or on produce.

Tips for Best Performance

Consider the following guidelines to enhance the performance of Regalia® CG:

• Use at the first sign of disease for the strongest protection.
• Spray all parts of the plant with water.
• Modify spray intervals during conducive weather for the disease.
• Rotate with other modes of action to help manage resistance.
• Read the product label carefully to ensure proper use, including dosage, timing, and safe mixing with other products.

Integrating Regalia® CG into an IPM Program

Regalia® CG is most effective when integrated into an overall pest management program:

1. Scouting and Thresholds: Regular field scouting to spot early disease signs.
2. Cultural Controls: Crop rotation, resistant varieties and sanitation practices.
3. Biological Tools: Beneficial microbes and natural predators for insect pests.
4. Chemical Rotation: Alternate Regalia® CG with synthetic or other biofungicides.

This holistic mindset results in better, healthier crops and more predictable bounties.

Summary

Regalia® CG 1Gl OMRI Biofungicide is an effective preventative biofungicide, proven to control several economically significant soilborne, foliar and postharvest diseases. And triggering a plant’s innate defenses makes for less reliance on conventional chemicals and is a good fit for both organic and conventional systems. Growers can expect healthier plants, lower disease risk and greater peace of mind when Regalia® CG is part of their crop-protection plan.
