Plant Health Care announces exclusive supply agreement with Tate & Lyle
and receives its largest order in Company history
Plant Health Care plc, the leading provider of natural products to the
agriculture and landscaping industries is pleased to announce that it has
secured from Tate & Lyle an exclusive agreement for the use of a by-product of
Tate & Lyle's European molasses fermentation process in North America and
Mexico. This forms the base for Plant Heath Care's non GMO certified organic
fertiliser, Organic Plant Food ('OPF').
Plant Heath Care also announces its first US distribution agreement for OPF with
ADG LLC, a California based agricultural distribution company. The agreement
specifies an opening order for over $1.0 million, the single largest order in
the company's history, for immediate delivery. ADG is a newly formed
distribution company owned by David Griffin, a principal in Salinas based
Shamrock Seeds.
OPF is one of only a very few organic plant based fertilisers in the world that
contains a high nitrogen content, making it a real alternative to the more
traditional animal fertilisers. Importantly for the farming community, the OPF
formulation contains almost 100% more nitrogen than the current plant-based
products on the market, which the company believes will allow the yield of
organic crops to approach that of conventional crops. The Board believes that
OPF will offer the lowest price per unit of nitrogen for any liquid organic
product currently on the market.
This distribution agreement marks the start of PHC's strategy to capture a major
share of the rapidly growing US organic agricultural market. OPF has already
seen steady growth in demand in Europe over the past two years, and the Board is
confident of a similar success in North America. Not only does the North
American market boast one of the largest vegetable industries for organic crops
in the world, but, as a result of the recent E.Coli outbreak in the US, there is
an enormous demand for non-animal based fertilisers.
John Brady, CEO of Plant Health Care, commented, 'We are delighted to sign our
first US distribution agreement for OPF and receive the largest order in the
company's history. It is a great opportunity for Plant Health Care to become one
of the dominant players in the organic fertiliser market which is worth around
$7million to $8 million a year in California alone. We are confident that OPF
can gain a major market share as it offers the farming community a safe
alternative, whilst fulfilling all their requirements and at a low cost.
'We are already in discussions with a number of other distributors in the US,
Canada and Mexico'

And still not much notice being taken, sudden surge might suggest more Myconate results and maybe a deal on the horizon. I sold a few a short while back as needed funds but may consider adding again soon as this looks ready to fly.
Last time sp increased, company issued statement, what will happen this time, if they say no reason that they know of the sp may fall and prevent a buying opportunity, if its a deal watch this sp race ahead. Still believe 5 possible.

More Myconate test results due in January, which if positive will help with a deal, and 5 more of a probable than a possible.

A tad disapointing , we were all used to knock out results it seems , but still positve over all.
Myconate works even on already high yeilding fields it seems , I believe a partnering deal is just around the corner.

Myconate(R) produces outstanding yield gains in wheat.
Plant Health Care (AIM: PHC.L), a leading provider of natural products for
plants and soil, is pleased to report the first independent results of its
Myconate(R) testing programmes in wheat. Following impressive results in many
and varied crops over the past several years, the results of these trials now
demonstrate the effectiveness of Myconate(R) in a new class of crops - the small
cereal grains. The Company now has compelling evidence of yield stimulation in
the two most important representatives of this class: wheat and sorghum.
During the 2006/2007 season, Myconate(R) was evaluated in three separate
independent wheat trials in Mexico; two in Baja and one in Sonora. These trials
were conducted by local farmers and distributed across a wide range of soil and
climate conditions for this crop.
In the Baja trials, the yield increases at the two locations were 21% and 16%;
this resulted in increased income for the grower of US$385 per hectare and
US$326 per hectare respectively. In these cases the trials involved large plot
sizes of 4 hectares (10 acres) so the response has been proven on growers farms
in a full commercial setting.
In Sonora, the trials were established to determine the effect of seed rate and
Myconate coating. In this test 20% less seed was planted in the Myconate treated
fields. The yield from both the control field and the Myconate reduced seed
fields were essentially identical (approximately a 23% yield increase on the
Myconate treated field when adjusted for seed rate) and the protein content of
the Myconate(R) treated wheat was increased by 8.5%. As a result, the increased
income to the grower for the higher yield and higher protein content would be
around US$600 per hectare.
Further results of our cereal testing including more wheat, sorghum and barley
trials are expected as the year progresses.
John Brady, CEO of Plant Health Care commented on the results, 'Once again
Myconate has proven its ability to consistently deliver improved yields in a
variety of crops and under differing soil and climatic conditions. We are
especially pleased to now have large scale tests results on the important cereal
grain crops which number in excess of 300 million acres in the North America,
Europe, South America and Southern Africa regions. All of this coincides with
planned timing for further Myconate supply agreements.'
Myconate background
Through the stimulation of endogenous mycorrhizal fungi, PHC's novel Myconate
technology helps crops to develop larger effective rooting volume. Myconate
works by triggering the germination and growth of beneficial micro-organisms
called mycorrhizal fungi which colonize the roots of crop plants. With more
mycorrhizal fungi at work, each plant can draw more nutrients and moisture out
of the soil. More nutrients make for healthier plants, and significantly
greater overall yields. The Board believes Myconate could be the key to
changing the face of farming. The safety and ease of application of Myconate
means that management practices need not be over-hauled. The procedure is a
straightforward blending process, either tank mixing the Myconate with the
fertilizer during planting, or applying the Myconate to the seed before
planting.

Myconate Field Trial Update
- Significant yield improvement demonstrated on a variety of crops -
Plant Health Care (AIM: PHC.L), a leading provider of natural products for
plants and soil, is pleased to report the success of recent Myconate tests. The
trials, which were all undertaken in the US, are part of the extensive
development programme underway and further reinforce the commercial potential of
Myconate.
When applied to carrots in furrow application at seeding, Myconate produced a
resultant yield improvement in excess of 30% in two separate trials. Both trials
were carried out independently by a major Wisconsin vegetable grower.
Celery trials in Wisconsin demonstrated a 14% harvestable yield increase when
Myconate was applied as a pre-plant, transplant spray. Against the control,
tests showed a 12% increase in total weight and 12% increase in top weight. A
13% yield increase was achieved in trials on onions and, as with celery,
application was by pre-plant, transplant spray. Additionally, a 13% increase in
bulb weight and 11% increase in diameter were recorded.
The results of Myconate trials on grain and straw in winter wheat, tested using
a variety of applications and produced particularly pleasing yield improvements.
When applied as a seed treatment yield increased as much as 5.4% and when
applied as a ground spray the improvement was up to 7.4%. Additionally,
Myconate's application as both a seed treatment and a ground spray delivered
yield increases of up to 9.4%.
Commenting on the trials, John Brady, Chief Executive of Plant Health Care,
said:
'The increase in yields on grain and straw in severe winter conditions are very
pleasing and the results of these tests are compelling, confirming Myconate's
efficacy through a number of applications. The results achieved highlight the
opportunity Myconate presents on a broad range of crops and vegetables. We are
committed to delivering shareholder value through the commercialisation of our
natural technologies and the ongoing development and marketing of Myconate and
Harpin is central to our strategy.'
