Crop Production Needs to Double by 2050 in a RESPONSIBLE Way

Feeding the Planet is Becoming Difficult

World population ~10bill by 2050 *

Changing consumptions (higher protein diet)

Reducing arable land(0.36 -> 0.2 has/per person

in last 50 yrs *)

Yields under pressure –climate change, pests Regulators, consumers

demanding reduced impact

* FAO, United Nations

Bee Vectoring:

An Alternative to Spraying

Biopesticides:

An Alternative to Chemicals

115 Crops Worldwide

87 Require pollination

$3 Billion Market Size

12% Projected growth

16% CAGR 2009 - 2015

Low toxicity

Highly targeted

Lower exposure

80 Mill Commercial beehives globally

Highly targeted

Less water

Less waste

Less machinery

All-Natural System: Pollination + Crop Protection + Crop Enhancement

BVT Technology

BVT CR-7

Insecticide

Nutritional

Proprietary Microbe: BVT CR-7

• Clonostachys Rosea – a unique and beneficial endophytic fungus

• Protection throughout the season

• Protects crops against: botrytis, rhizopus, monilinia + other diseases

Proprietary Delivery System

• Commercial bumble bee hives

• Multiple control agents can be “stacked”

• Working on a honeybee solution

• “In-spense” bee health products

Control Multiple Pests by Stacking Several Control Agents

“In-spensing” of bee health products into bee hives

Sprayable and Seed Treatments

Additional Value Can be Extracted Beyond the Farm

Successful Trials – Strawberries Example

Benefits Results Comments

Botrytis disease reduction over fungicide program

40% - 50% e.g. Reduction from 18% to 9% in one trial

Anthracnose disease control Suppression Observed reduction in field

Marketable yield increase 30% to 48% Multiple trials

Fruit Quality Higher brix observed

Shelf-Life Extended several days (3 – 4 days in one trial)

Plant Vigor 15% increase over FUN-only Greener color, larger leaves, more robust plants

BVT Program + Fungicide treatment Fungicide only treatment

48% Yield Increase Better Vigor

Sunflowers: Statistically better yield (+8%) and sclerotinia control (-36% incidence)Proof of Concept: Blueberries (monilinia); Tomatoes (botrytis)
