For the past 38 years, Efekto has been helping gardeners to create beautiful, bountiful and balanced gardens. The company’s range of fertilisers, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides adhere stringently to government safety regulations, and this, combined with the broad spectrum of products offered and proven reliability over the decades, has ensured the Efekto brand a place in every garden shed.
Efekto has blossomed into a major garden chemicals producer since its small beginnings in 1974, as a division of the local Agricura Agrochemical Company. Back then, its aim was specifically to supply agro-chemicals in quantities small enough to meet the needs of the home gardener. Since then, more than 500 products have been brought onto the market by Efekto, with many of them becoming household names: Rosecare, Garden Ripcord, Dursban, Shake-‘n-Grow and Wonder fertilisers, to mention a few.
The company is not stopping there though: it prides itself on providing whatever is necessary to make the gardening experience more convenient and enjoyable. So whether it’s high-tech chemical remedies or natural products; a request for a single broad-spectrum pesticide or a full range of products to target and control any number of household and garden pests, Efekto aims to meet and surpass all gardening and pest control needs. And new benefits in pest control and plant care are continually sought through ongoing research and development.
Much has changed over the past 30 years, including gardens. They are no longer simply aesthetically pleasing green lungs, but have rightfully taken their place as tranquil retreats and a source of intense enjoyment for urban executive professionals, male and female. Bearing this in mind, Efekto has created a holistic gardening solution to reflect the requirements of this exacting yet time-pressed market. Soon, people will be able to work with a network of Efekto-trained garden experts and partners who will provide holistic garden supervision. Incorporating the elements of plant nutrition (the Wonder range of ‘classic’ chemical as well as organic fertilisers), plant protection (pesticides, fungicides etc) and water care products through specific products and management, Efekto will be a complete garden resource.
Efekto’s domain also extends aggressively beyond home gardens into three additional areas: turf management, farms and public health. These new markets afford new scope for products and services, and Eketo’s strategic partnerships in this arena will ensure sustained innovation and cutting edge quality.
