Golembiewski has more than 35 years of university and industry experience in agronomy and technical services. His passion and outstanding knowledge of fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and growth regulators, paired with technical precision, will serve an essential role in helping customers optimize their pest control strategies and find relevant products for their operation’s unique needs.
