Registrations for pest control and seed treatment products containing the active ingredient imidacloprid are pending at the EPA. In addition, Etigra has filed for fertilizer registrations and are confident that we have successfully circumvented Bayer’s manufacturing process patent for applying imidacloprid to fertilizer. Due to the novelty of Etigra’s solution, we have filed for our own patent on this process.
Please consult your Etigra sales representative or our Web site for updated product information, including state registrations.
Etigra started three years ago with the vision of offering a full portfolio of post-patent pesticide alternatives. With the registration of these new imidacloprid products, and because of your support, we feel we’ve taken a significant step to achieving this goal. Thank you for your support as we continue to build our portfolio.
Best regards,
JJ Grow, President and Chief Executive Officer
