摘要

Davis, California (May 17, 2012)--Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (MBI), a leading global provider of natural pest management products for the agricultural and water treatment markets, announced today that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved MBI-005, a unique broad-spectrum selective bioherbicide for potential use on a variety of crops, turf and ornamentals. This is the fourth active ingredient that MBI has registered with the EPA. "We are currently optimizing MBI-005 for a broad range of commercial opportunities in crops, turf and consumer lawn markets," said MBI Vice President of Biological Research Phyllis Himmel, PhD. "We are particularly excited about the broad-spectrum pre-emergence activity, killing weeds before they inflict costly damage to crops and lawns."
