Improving plant health with Flamingro
Based on more than 30 years of extensive research, development, testing and real-world use, Flamingro is an exciting new product for the suppression of harmful plant parasitic nematodes.
Rew Enterprises Ltd Company director Ian Rew has been working with chitin-based products for the past 30 years.
In California in 1992, Ian developed a liquid chitin product after noticing the improvement of plant health in soil treated with chitin.
In 2010, Ian returned home to New Zealand and bought a farm near Rotorua.
Later, he picked up the chitin project locally, and Rew Enterprises Ltd developed Flamingro. is new dry product improves on the previous formulation. During development, Flamingro went through extensive and successful testing at Ag Research Hamilton and Plant and Food Research Lincoln. ere are ongoing trials underway across New Zealand.
Flamingro has a signi cantly higher chitin content than the previous liquid formulation, and Rew Enterprises are happy to be able to o er a cost e ective product for plant parasitic nematode suppression to New Zealand and Australian farmers.
