Sustainable innovations and green technologies are necessary to ensure agricultural production continues to address food safety and security as well as soil health. This agreement between Bayer and MustGrow further demonstrates the importance of innovation in sustainable technologies in agricultural regions around the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MustGrow has granted Bayer the right to use MustGrow\u2019s intellectual property for testing purposes and the option to acquire exclusive rights to MustGrow\u2019s technologies for preplant soil fumigation, bioherbicide applications, and postharvest food preservation of potatoes, including sprout inhibition in the regions of Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Under the agreement, Bayer will fund and drive all laboratory, field development, regulatory work and market development necessary for commercialization. MustGrow continues to conduct field trials, R&amp;D and regulatory development concurrently in other regions, collaborating with numerous agriculture, chemical products, and consumer food companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MustGrow\u2019s technology pipeline is focused on remarkably safe, effective, organic plant-based biopesticides that harness the mustard seed\u2019s natural defense mechanism to treat diseases, pests and weeds. MustGrow\u2019s technology has shown consistent efficacy in many regions of North and South America, in multiple crops, covering many pests, over multiple years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe are thrilled to accelerate the development and understanding of our technology with Bayer in these important food producing regions.

MustGrow has designed and owns a U.S. EPA-approved natural solution that uses the mustard seed\u2019s natural defence mechanism to protect plants from pests and diseases. Over 110 independent tests have been completed, validating MustGrow\u2019s safe and effective signature products. The product, in granule format, is EPA-approved across all key U.S. states and by Health Canada\u2019s PMRA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency) as a biopesticide for high value crops such as in fruit &amp; vegetables. MustGrow has now concentrated a mustard extract biopesticide in liquid format, TerraMG, and with regulatory approval, could be applied through standard drip or spray equipment, improving functionality and performance features. In addition, the Company\u2019s mustard-derived extract technologies could have other applications in several different industries from preplant soil treatment, to weed control, to post harvest disease control and food preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company has approximately 47.8 million basic common shares issued and outstanding and 54.7 million shares fully diluted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCorey Giasson\u201d<br>Director &amp; CEO<br>Phone: +1-306-668-2652<br>E-Mail: <a href=\"mailto:info@mustgrow.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@mustgrow.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exclusive agreement with Bayer to evaluate MustGrow\u2019s technologies to determine commercial potential.
