B I O F U M I G A T I O N Investor Information Mustard meal contains from 5 to 6 % nitrogen (N) and thus meal amendment to soil represents a potentially valuable N fertilizer. This is especially important for organic agriculture where the use of commercial inorganic fertilizers is prohibited. The proposed mustard meal product will occupy a unique market niche as both a biopesticide and an organic fertilizer. We are seeking investors to finance meal registration as a biopesticide. We have amassed a considerable database concerning meal amendment rates, application methods, and toxicities towards specific plant pests. However, we need to complete all studies such that specific application instructions and efficacy against target organisms can be determined. Our objective is to target pests in high value crops for which there are few if any acceptable control alternatives. Investment opportunities exist to develop complete label recommendations for commercially viable mustard meal products. .jpg)
