The ProblemLack of Effective & Available Bactericides Grower identified need Bacterial diseases are rampant in pulse &
horticultural crops Bacterial bean blight, tomato canker, etc Very few available solutions
Streptomycin to be removed from market Copper products ineffective Resistance forming in fungi & bacteria

Innovotech’s ProposalAgressTM
All-in-one bactericide & fungicide for horticultural crops Reduce spray times & amounts Integrated solution
Pulse crop pest management integration Genetics, seed treatment & spray Spray same as seed treatment Multiple targets for bacteria & fungi
![Page 4: Development and Commercialization of Fungicides and Bactericides for Horticultural Crops/Improving and Integrating Disease Management for Pulse Crops](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051012/5443d111b1af9f680a8b4646/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Green BulletTM
Activated silver compound Broad spectrum bacteria & fungi control Low-resistance formation potential Inexpensive Environmentally friendly
Potential organic pesticide Very low use rates Decomposition products naturally occurring Safe to crops up to 100x use rate
