MBI-110 Biofungicide (Discovered in MBIrsquos screen) bull Controls difficult plant diseases such as white mold amp downy mildews where there

are fewer chemical and biological alternatives

MBI-010 Bioherbicide (New species of bacteria produces systemic compounds) bull Controls glyphosate-resistant and other herbicide-resistant weeds bull Addresses the 1 need of organic farmers ndash weed control bull Novel mode of action (No new herbicide modes of action in ~25 years)

MBI-601 Biofumigant (Novel genus and species of volatile gas-producing fungus) bull Alternative for toxic methyl bromide and other chemical fumigants that are heavily

restricted or being phased out bull Could be deployed for post harvest control on fruits and grains

MBI-505 Anti-transpirant (extracted fatty alcohol compounds from coconut oil) bull Reduces water loss reflects heat to reduce crop stress and increase yield

MBI-110 Biofungicide (Discovered in MBIrsquos screen) bull Controls difficult plant diseases such as white mold amp downy mildews where there

are fewer chemical and biological alternatives

MBI-010 Bioherbicide (New species of bacteria produces systemic compounds) bull Controls glyphosate-resistant and other herbicide-resistant weeds bull Addresses the 1 need of organic farmers ndash weed control bull Novel mode of action (No new herbicide modes of action in ~25 years)

MBI-601 Biofumigant (Novel genus and species of volatile gas-producing fungus) bull Alternative for toxic methyl bromide and other chemical fumigants that are heavily

restricted or being phased out bull Could be deployed for post harvest control on fruits and grains
