MustGrow Biologics (CSE: MGRO) (OTC: MGROF), an agricultural biotech company developing and commercializing a portfolio of natural, science-based bio-pesticides and bio-fertility products, today announced that it intends to address a new Fusarium pathogen known as Fusarium wilt Tropical Race 4 (“Fusarium wilt TR4”), a soil-borne disease pathogen afflicting the worldwide banana supply. Following the spread of Fusarium wilt TR4 to banana plantations in South America, Colombia has reportedly declared a national state of emergency and enacted special measures to halt the spread of the disease. The company’s previous independent efficacy studies involving the treatment of Fusarium oxysporum (“Fusarium”), a soil-borne pathogen likely similar to Fusarium wilt TR4, have shown 100% control of the fungus. Since MustGrow’s patented mustard-derived bio-pesticide has confirmed 100% control of soil-borne diseases & pathogens including Fusarium, Botrytis, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Verticillium, Phytophthora, Sclerotinia, and Nematodes, additional testing will determine if the same product can control the developing threat to the global banana supply.
