Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. announced that the California Department of Food and Agriculture has approved the use of Haven. In addition, trials in California over the last two years show that Haven applications resulted in significantly higher almond and walnut yields, compared to competing products. The active ingredient in Haven is a food-use approved extract derived from coconuts. Use of Haven helps treated plants maintain lower leaf temperatures and reduces heat stress on the crops, resulting in higher yields and quality. When two to five applications are sprayed on crops generally starting at bloom, shortlyafter bloom or at early fruit/nut set, Haven has shown to reduce sun damage and increase yields for certain apple varieties, almonds, walnuts, soft berries, citrus, grapes, and tomatoes. Haven also increased yields of corn and wheat and turf grass.
