| California law requires a Pest Control Advisor to issue a written recommendation for any pesticide sold to a grower. PCAs will not recommend a new product until convinced it is effective and non-phytotoxic. Their credibility, and their license, is at risk each time they recommend a product.
CALTEC focuses on PCAs, training them in the proper use of clients’ new products and developing their confidence to recommend client products. |
Once your new product is approved and ready for use, CALTEC can introduce your product into the marketplace fast. Our personnel in the Western States can:
- Identify major resellers in specific crop markets
- Establish a distribution system through qualified resellers
- Identify competitive products
- Develop marketing strategies
- Establish centralized warehousing
- Recommend formulations, package size, pricing, margin structure
- Obtain orders for client billing
