Valagro’s biostimulant TALETE scoops award: Valagro, a leading company in the development, production and marketing of biostimulants and specialty nutrients for crops, has been recognized at the 2021 Crop Science Awards for the innovative biostimulant TALETE, which has been awarded Best New Biological Product (Biostimulant).

In its history, which is more than 10 years long, this prestigious annual event (previously known as Agrow Awards) has honoured the most successful scientific, technological, and leadership initiatives in the field of innovative crop protection inputs and digital agriculture industries from all over the world.

Valagro’s biostimulant TALETE scoops award

TALETE, developed by means of our proprietary GeaPower® technology, helps crops enhance Crop Water Productivity, the economical or biophysical gain for each unit of water used in crop production. Composed of biomolecules of plant origin, TALETE acts directly on plant physiology, promoting sustainable production in both conditions of adequate water availability and of permanent or temporary water scarcity.

Giuseppe Natale, CEO of Valagro:

“We learn with great pleasure about the prestigious Crop Science Award received by TALETE, as it testifies to and celebrates Valagro’s work in creating a sustainable future for people and nature – efforts that we now share with Syngenta as one team. TALETE is our answer to the needs of the farmers who struggle with water scarcity and of those who keep an eye on optimal management of agricultural inputs: we created it not only by putting innovation at the service of the environment, but also with a view on social and economic needs of the farmers. We are now happy and proud to see that the results of our mindset have been recognized as an excellence in the biologicals sector and we believe this achievement reinforces our will to pursue this ambitious goal.”

Corey Huck, Head Global Biologicals, Syngenta:

“Syngenta and Valagro invest into biological research to meet the needs of farmers, connecting science with nature. We are delighted that our efforts have been recognized by the industry. The Crop Science Award reinforces TALETE’s tangible contribution to growers who experience difficulty in accessing water or in managing it optimally, thus contributing to a sustainable future for people and nature. Congratulations to the Valagro team for this well-deserved honor.”

Ground-breaking resort chooses Club Car

November 8, 2021/in News, Press Release/by External Source

Ground-breaking resort chooses Club Car: Club Car, the world’s largest manufacturer of small-wheel electric vehicles, has supplied a fleet of cars to Kigali Golf Resort & Villas, the first 18-hole golf facility in Rwanda.

The resort is in the centre of the Rwandan capital, Kigali, and features a new Championship course by Gary Player Design. The 65-hectare site had previously been a nine-hole course but has been reinvented into 18 new holes, plus a driving range.

Ground-breaking resort chooses Club Car

Nathanael Pietrzak-Swirc, International Director of UGOLF, the management company for Kigali Golf Resort & Villas, said: “There were many reasons why we opted for Club Car – style, comfort, features and, most importantly, reliability. Club Car fits so well with the 5-star experience we are looking to deliver.”

Kigali Golf Resort and Villas is the first in the Rwandan government’s target of creating four golf courses in the next five years to give Rwandans and expats the chance to discover the game, as well as tap into the international golf tourism market.

With long-term ambitions of hosting tournaments, Kigali Golf Resort & Villas also boasts a new clubhouse, health club, spa and tennis club. Real estate will also be an important component, with around 150 villas planned across the development.

Nicolas Le Glas, Club Car’s Regional Sales Manager France, Middle East & Africa, added: “This is an ambitious project and we are proud to be part of the first development of this kind in Rwanda. The resort has a mix of Tempo cars which are electric, aligning well with the resort’s green strategy, and four-seater Onward vehicles, which will be used as a VIP car to let people discover the course and to transport golfers between the 12th and the 13th holes, which is quite a long walk.”

With completely customisable options – including colour, seats, storage, wheels and three programmable drive modes to maximize performance, Club Car’s Onward Passenger vehicle comes with a 4.7hp motor and 375 Amp controller as standard which deliver outstanding hill-climbing power and acceleration.

Nathanael Pietrzak-Swirc concluded: “One of our aims is to attract international travellers, particularly business people. We already have 250 members and we are aiming to have 500 within three years. The resort’s city centre location will be a major draw for people wanting to play golf during a trip.”

Club Car supplies many of the world’s leading golf destinations with its wide range of vehicles, and is an official supplier to the European Tour, the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) and St Andrews Links Trust.
