PLANT HEALTH CARE plc
("Plant Health Care" or the "Company")
US Announces Harpin <ALPHA><BETA> Product Launch in
Corn
Plant Health Care(R) , a leading provider of novel
patent-protected biological products to global agriculture markets,
is pleased to announce the launch of a Harpin
<ALPHA><BETA> product for seed treatment applications
to field corn.
Harpin <ALPHA><BETA> has been launched as a seed
treatment product for field corn in the US and will be marketed and
sold as a mixture product by a leading supplier to the US corn
grower.
Harpin <ALPHA><BETA> works by triggering the corn
plant's own self defense systems, in a manner similar to
vaccinations in humans. The plant responds with improved vigor,
healthy growth, heightened defense response and, ultimately,
increased yield. Results from 2016-2017 field trials provided over
a 5 bushel per acre average yield increase. Being a biological
product, Harpin <ALPHA><BETA> has a very favorable
human and environmental safety profile.
Chris Richards, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of Plant
Health Care noted: "This is an excellent opportunity for Plant
Health Care to gain access to the 90 million acre US corn market
with an outstanding partner and we look forward to continued
product developments in this space. This is the first of a number
of product launches we expect to announce in the next 12-18
months."
