Keeping Roses Healthy in a Changing Market

October 30, 2025

The floriculture industry is undergoing rapid change. Evolving market standards, increased scrutiny on pesticide residues, and a push for sustainable production are redefining how rose growers manage crop protection.

New standards and regulations have led to restrictions or bans on several active ingredients, leaving growers with fewer options for managing diseases like powdery mildew.

The floriculture industry is undergoing rapid change. Evolving market standards, increased scrutiny on pesticide residues, and a push for sustainable production are redefining how rose growers manage crop protection.

New standards and regulations have led to restrictions or bans on several active ingredients, leaving growers with fewer options for managing diseases like powdery mildew.

Some export markets even limit the number of active ingredients that can be used. This makes it harder to rely on pre-mixed products or those that convert into other actives molecules after application.

Growers now need modern, single-active solutions that meet these new standards.
