Global Chemistries are Being Banned or Deregistered U.S. appeals court orders EPA to ban pesticide said to harm children Judge Jed Rakoff directed the EPA to ban chlorpyrifos within 60 days, saying the agency failed to counteract scientific evidence that its residue on food causes neurodevelopmental damage to children. -- Reuters; August 9, 2018 Bayer says U.S. glyphosate plaintiffs more than double since July Germany’s Bayer is now facing 42,700 U.S. Plaintiffs blaming its glyphosate-based weedkillers for their cancer, more than twice the tally in July and potentially raising any future settlement. -- Reuters; October 30, 2019 France bans crop pesticide metam sodium after people fall ill The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers metam sodium a probable human carcinogen … Still, metam sodium is among the most widely used agricultural pesticides in the United States. -- Reuters; November 5, 2018 How Has This Pesticide Not Been Banned? The pesticide known as chlorpyrifos is both clearly dangerous and in very wide use. It is known to pass easily from mother to fetus and has been linked to a wide range of serious medical problems, including impaired development, Parkinson’s disease and some forms of cancer. That’s not entirely surprising. The chemical was originally developed by Nazis during World War II for use as a nerve gas. -- The New York Times; December 17, 2019 5
Biologics vs. Chemistries • MustGrow is focused on providing natural, science-based biological solutions that are both safe AND effective to replace synthetic chemicals used in high value crops • Crop producers want to use safe products to protect their crops… but only if they work Safe Biologics Chemistries Harmful Not Effective Effective 6
Proven Pre-Plant Bio-Pesticide; Not a Chemistry 100% Owned Patented Bio-Pesticide Disease Natural Mustard- Control Derived Safe & >110 Independent Effective Trials Nematode Organic Control New Liquid Formulation “Granular Format” is already EPA- approved – Now seeking registration for Liquid Formulation TerraMG TerraMG: EPA (US) and PMRA (Canada) registration approval estimated by Q1-2021 7
Value Proposition for Fruit & Vegetable Growers • MustGrow’s original granular technology had excellent efficacy but only modest market penetration due to: • Bulky granular product that was costly to transport, therefore high end use price per acre • Fruit & vegetable growers prefer application through drip line and not via broadcast methods • MustGrow’s Liquid Formulation ( TerraMG TM ) has great potential to compete on price compared to chemistries: • 2.5-5.0 gal/acre had 100% control of key soil based fungus. • ~20% of U.S. crop acres are designated as buffer zones à acres near schools, farm yards, etc. where chemical crop inputs are not allowed... MustGrow will target these as well as all conventional acres Projected Global Fumigation Market (2025; 4.6% CAGR) Global: US$1.2B Potential Revenue from 10% US Market Penetration US: ~$50MM $504MM (42%) 8 Source: Globenewire
