Plant Health Care signed Harpin™ agreement with Talc U.S.A.

Plant Health Care has reached agreement with Talc U.S.A. to launch Inceptive™, a novel product containing PHC's patented Harpin™ αβ technology, which will be mixed with a Talc U.S.A. seed lubricant for corn seed treatment in the USA.  Inceptive has been shown in replicated trials to bring substantial benefits on corn such as improved vigour, heightened defense responses and increased yield.  This agreement will provide PHC with additional access to the 90 million acre corn market in the USA.

 

Dr Chris Richards, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of Plant Health Care, commented: "Over the last three years, we have steadily built compelling evidence of the efficacy of products based on the Company's patented Harpin technology.  The distribution arrangements announced today reflect further progress in developing sales of the product in significant markets.  We expect that these agreements, together with other projects in progress, will drive strong sales growth of products based on Harpin?over the coming years."
