This virus is very difficult to manage and can have a devastating impact to cucurbit crops. Cuc-GUARD acts as a ″vaccine″ for target crops to prevent the infection and spread of the pathogen. Efficacy data indicates that when applied preventatively, Cuc-GUARD provides protection from the pathogen and improves both crop quality and yield. Cuc-GUARDTM is the first of several plant vaccine solutions to be developed from the unique discovery platform at A&L Biological.

″We are thrilled to announce that following years of research and development, Cuc-GUARD is now available to Canadian greenhouse growers,″ said Rob Field, VP Business Development and Marketing for A&L Canada.
