Trials have been in place throughout this year, maybe an update with results next week and if good and deals can be landed 77p will be cheap as they have patents to cover the technology.

Encouraging news today with Myconate producing results ahead of expectations and revenues expected one year earlier than anticipated

Myconate - 2006 Trial Results continue to impress around the world
Plant Health Care (AIM: PHC.L), a leading provider of natural products for
plants and soil, is pleased to report the early success of its Myconate test
programme in 2006. Building upon the impressive results from prior years, the
results of this year's trials to date further validate the effectiveness of
Myconate in increasing yields of many different crops all over the world.
PHC's novel Myconate technology helps crops to develop larger root mass by
triggering the colonisation of beneficial micro-organisms called mycorrhizal
fungi. 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.
During 2006, Myconate tests are being performed in numerous countries in the
Americas and Europe, in different soil and climate conditions, with the tests
conducted on many different crops and using a range of application methods. The
results for four of the trials harvested so far this year are shown in the
following Table. The results from all of our corn and soybean trials will be
reported later.
CROP: LOCATION % YIELD INCREASE COMMENTS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cotton Georgia, USA 6.9 -10.4% Lint yield,
2 rates used
Cotton Coahuila, Mexico 28.6% Lint yield
Sorghum Tamaulipas, Mexico 47.1% Grain yield
Tomatoes Provence, France 13.3% (saleable) Processing tomatoes
Our trials continue to generate interest in Myconate among its target markets
prior to commercial rollout. PHC is currently in discussions with several major
agrichemical and seed companies concerning optimal arrangements for the
commercialisation of Myconate in the principal row crops. Other strategies are
being explored for the smaller acreage crops.
John Brady, CEO of Plant Health Care, commented on the results, 'The current
trials on cotton and tomatoes have been exceptional and further tests on a
variety of different crops are underway, leading us to believe that Myconate
could be more widely accepted than previously believed.
'We are very excited about the progress being made on current round of Myconate
tests. These successes have put us ahead of where we expected to be and it bodes
very well for the future. We expect to sign the first licensing agreement with a
major agri-chemical company in 2007, one year ahead of schedule.'

sp flying again, imagine what will happen when results concluded and deals are struck as it would appear to be a no-brainer that Myconate will be used in future.

soul, this is a mutli-bagger in the making, not too late its just do you get in now or wait for a dip (if there is one). Results of further Myconate tests were out early and were even better than expected. More results to follow soon from French co-operatives. IMO deals will be happening soon and then PHC will fly. Shares are tightly held and I have ear-marked 5 with success for mine, thats not ramping just what I expect if they achieve success, if the trials failed 50p and below so one of my favourites speculative punt scenarios but so far everything is looking good. Research available on their web-site.

Plant Health Care PLC
13 November 2006
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'

Should be more good news to follow, looking very positive on all fronts.
Myconate,pretect,OPF,
I also like the sound of the new all natural soil sterilent to replace the synthetic
methyl bromide (nice)
PHC is going places ......fast

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.

Hello everyone. What do people think of yesterday's results?

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.

Wonder why.
