About Fulex Smokes
|
Fuller System was founded by Robert Fuller and seven other leading carnation growers of Massachusetts to find an effective control for red spider mites, which were ruining the crops of New England during the early 1920s.
Fuller System's initial products were coal-tar insecticides and later naphthalene flakes which were put atop a kerosene lantern and vaporized in the greenhouse. Fuller System developed a complete line of disease control products during this early period as well. In 1939, Arthur G. Fuller joined his father, managing and owning Fuller System until his death in 1996. Throughout this period, Edward Beaton was the production manager and right-hand man of Arthur Fuller, producing all of the products of the company during this sixty-year period.
In the late 1940's the smoke method of fumigation was perfected by Arthur Fuller and remains that way to this day. Nine different smokes have been developed by Fuller System during the past several decades, with Thiodan, DDVP and Nicotine the current products now offered in four different sizes for varying greenhouse grower needs.
The Fuller System in the 1960s David Brock, a great grandson of the founder, currently manages Fuller System which continues to offer efficient insect and disease control products using smoke technology. The company's Fulex Smokes and Exotherm Termil continue to provide the greenhouse grower with the least expensive, yet best performing insect and disease control for high-value floriculture crops. Since 1928, we estimate the use of Fulex Smokes has saved millions of man-hours and dollars, while protecting billions of plants -- grown to comfort and enhance our lives, beautifying the world around us, and connecting us to the bounty of the planet on which we live. |
