MustGrow’s proprietary technology platform is natural, organic and environmentally sustainable. Globally, some synthetic chemicals and fertilizers are being banned/restricted. Natural products like MustGrow’s are going to be needed to feed a growing population in a sustainable way on a finite amount of arable land. The Company currently owns approximately 112 patents that are issued and pending.

Why Mustard?

Mustard is part of the Brassica family of plants, which contain natural molecules that provide the natural defense mechanism of the mustard plant to protect it from diseases and pests.  MustGrow has extracted and concentrated these key molecules with the goal of commercializing them as natural, organic biopesticides, biofumigants and bioherbcides. In addion, MustGrow’s extracts contain proteins and carbohydrates to feed the soil microbes, creating an easy to use technology focused on soil health and fertility. MustGrow’s proprietary technologies have potential to help replace banned/restricted synthetic chemicals and fertilizers, and protect and grow crops in a safe, sustainable way.

Technology Pipeline and Progress

• Biofertility – to feed the soil with vegetable proteins and carbohydrates from mustard.
  • TerraSante™ – a biofertility and organically registered product in the key high value fruit & vegetable crop growing US-states including California.

• Soil Biocontrol – a natural, organic biopesticide and bioherbicide.
  • Soil Biocontrol:
    • TerraMG™ – preplant soil biopesticide to treat soil-borne diseases and insect pests for multiple crops including fruit & vegetables, bananas, canola, etc.
• R&D / Trials / IP – additional potential applications and biorefinery opportunities from mustard.
  • • • Postharvest Biocontrol & Food Preservation – late development for application for sprouting and disease control in stored potatoes.
      • New Technologies and IP generation.

BIOFERTILITY

Biofertility Applications

MustGrow’s proprietary biofertility product and technology have the potential to provide mustard proteins and carbohydrates to feed the soil microbes and improve soil health. TerraSante™ is a registered product with sales.  

Biofertility

Application of biofertility to the soil occurs before crops are planted to feed the soil microbes with plant proteins and carbohydrates and improve overall soil health.  Under biofertility applications, TerraSante™ is registered in key fruit & vegetable growing states including California.  The product has organic certification under Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI Listed^®) and California’s Organic Input Material (OIM) Program. 

Registered product that is organic

• TerraSante™ is a registered biofertility product in the US-states of California, Florida, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington
• Wettable powder manufactured from 100% natural mustard seed
• Approval from Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI Listed^®) and California’s Organic Input Material (OIM) Program for use in organic production
• Can be used in both organic and conventional production
• Entirely biodegradable, environmentally safe

Better soil health

• Improves physical soil properties by feeding living organisms in the soil
• Improves water-holding capacity and soil aeration
• Reduces runoff and/or leaching

Higher plant performance

• Provides major and minor nutrients and minerals for plants
• Bioavailable nutrients can potentially  increases plant growth and vigor, which could help reduces disease and nematode symptoms
• Feeding the soil microbiome can help liberate available nutrients in the soil that can advance root systems, enhance growth and improve yield

BIOCONTROL

Biocontrol Applications

MustGrow’s proprietary biocontrol technology is truly a platform technology with applications in many markets globally. Applications are currently centered around three key areas with crops/segments within:

Postharvest Biocontrol & Food Preservation

Once a farmer has spent hard effort, time and money growing and harvesting a crop, this crop will need to be stored to eventually feed the world.
