http://www.innovationmanagement.co.uk/articles/france_reducing_pesticide_article.pdf FRANCE TO REDUCE PESTICIDE USE BY 50% BY 2025 The French Ministry of Agriculture has published the second version of its National Action Plan. This confirms the plan to cut pesticide use nationally by 50% over the course of the next decade. Implementation of the plan, Ecophyto ll, will be supported by €30 million funding. Detailed measures have been announced which build on the first plan which was published in 2008 (www. agriculture.gouv.fr/plan-ecophyto-2015)

Yes a fair bit of completion but one that Sumiagro describe as L'anti-botrytis révolutionnaire. Mevalone, a product of biocontrol against botrytis Mevalone: is innovative and effective, is easy to use and store, is exempt from maximum limit (MRLs), is safe for the environment and safe for the user, has a very short DAR: 3 days for grapes and 7 days for table grapes. Mevalone is a biocontrol. It is composed of three volatile terpenes (thymol, eugenol and the geraniol) which are micro-encapsulated in cells of yeast by a patented technology. This process stabilizes the terpenes. Terpenes have a direct action on the botrytis: they cause the death of the fungus by disrupting the functions of cytoplasmic inclusions. Terpenes also have an indirect action on Botrytis cinerea. Indeed they evaporate gradually, which has the effect of drying up the area around the bays. The berries decreasing humidity, the microclimate becomes less favourable to the development of the fungus

Coded 3AEY prior to its approval, the product is marketed under three brand names: Mevalone, Yatto and Nirka. This product is the result of collaboration between Eden Research and Sumi Agro France. In 2014, an exclusive license agreement is signed between the two companies for the distribution of this biochemical. "Formulated on basis of three terpenes, Mevalone has the unique and patented technology of microencapsulation EDEN SustaineTM that stabilizes these volatile molecules, thereby extending the length of the agronomic efficiency. It is the first product of EDEN Research allowed in France. ' confides Sean Smith, CEO of EDEN Research. This innovative method of microencapsulation in walls of yeast allows the progressive release of this specific balance of terpenes. The release is done, in interaction with the environment, only during conditions favourable to the development of botrytis. Mevalone has maximum efficiency when it is placed in program. As a result of a conventional anti-botrytis applied to the stadium at (blossom end) it is used from the stage B (closing of the bunch) and up to 3 days before the grape harvest. In respect of Ecophyto II, enforcement is reasoned and modulated based on risk. In support of this authorisation for placing on the market, Sumi Agro France undertakes to ask for this biocontrol product, the corresponding CEPP to-do card. For better efficiency, Sumi Agro France recommended to associate Mevalone with an adjuvant. When marketing, Yatto and Nirka are available in pack, associated with an adjuvant based terpenes, basic Adjuvant M1, which Sumi Agro France recommend the use. Mevalone is sold alone. Its mode of action, as well as the combination of three terpenes contribute favourably to resistance management. "The terpene component Mevalone being exempt from maximum limit (MRLs) and Mevalone is neutral towards the winemaking process, this product of biocontrol promotes the production and export of wines french." says Antoine Meyer, President of Sumi Agro France and IBMA France2. Its mode of action and use are a innovative fungicide. Mevalone confirms the commitment of Sumi Agro from the farmers and their distributors for the implementation of biocontrol and biostimulation solutions for a more sustainable agriculture. 1: basic Adjuvant M; No. AMM: 2000149.

Photo credits: Erwin Wodicka / Gina Sanders - Fotolia 73 Facebook Twitter Google + WhatsApp Linkedin E-mail IN THE GARDEN THIS WEEKEND - Every weekend Marc Mennessier, a journalist at Le Figaro, an agricultural engineer and plant lover, gives you tips and tricks to make your garden an Eden. For the past month, the use of synthetic pesticides has been prohibited in public gardens and green spaces belonging to the State, local authorities or public institutions. And on 1 January 2019, that is to say in a little less than two years, the law will also apply to amateur gardeners. In other words, you and me. Two symposiums have recently taken stock of this important step which will upset and change the practice of gardening: in December at the National Horticultural Society of France (SNHF), partner of Le Figaro, and this week under the leadership of the Association International manufacturers of biocontrol products (IBMA), which are supposed to replace current chemicals. Biocontrol is the new term which designates plant protection techniques by means of four families of natural agents: auxiliaries (or macro-organisms, such as ladybugs), beneficial microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.) Natural substances and chemical mediators (sexual pheromones).

A late reported trade of £71K buying 500000 shares. Wrote this on Dec 30/16; Baronsmead If I'm reading this correctly bought 606017 shares between 06/30/16 and 09/30/16. If they bought it at around 12p that gives us a familiar figure of roughly £72K which we've seen recently (500K shares 19/12/12) twice on same day. We also saw in November a steady run of £12K buys (100K shares buys) which x6 gives us 72 or x12 equals 144. Nice round big familiar numbers. Pure speculation on my part but the WSJ figures and the recent buys suggest to me that we've been seeing Baronsmead building their stake beyond 09/30/16.

I won't be selling mine to Baronsmead All IMO

Sain@vision. Your point about Lachlan publicity is fair and must be frustrating for EDEN. From a quick trawl of the internet it looks like Lachlan are not big on promotion for any product they sell. They have a You tube channel with one video on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9S_n4-AhIg

Not an Attack CeilingCat, just an observation. The TT debate is old meat here CC. The only person/s interested in debating this is TW and his associates . You have no skin in the game and are so poor at pretending not to be TW or associated it's embarrassing to watch. Better luck next time.

In my 13.35 post I mentioned people 'paid others acting under the pretence of independent punters' Ceilingcat below post is a good example of what I was referring to.

He has an interesting model and the gift of the gab for sure. The business model primarily involves self publicising, provocation and stirring up strong emotion in investors by challenging the accounting details in RNS's, calling companies Frauds, generating controversy and using fruity language. Those threatened investors argue the case on Bulletin boards and he and paid others acting under the pretence of independent punters cross swords daily on bulletin boards generating traffic for the Board and his webpage. (Look at CTAG) Toms income is enhanced the more we click on various articles etc. Personally I'd rather Eden used the money for field trials than lawyers letters.

Great News. Deep foundations are being laid. Well done to All at Eden.

Sean Smith made the following statements "So far this year, we have seen the first significant commercial sales of 3AEY into the agrochemicals market in Kenya, Greece, Italy and Spain. Whilst the botrytis season is not quite over and, as such, we don't have final sales quantities from our commercial partners for this season, Eden and its partners are very pleased with the sales that have been generated so far. Particularly in Italy where our partner, Sipcam Italia SpA, has invested a significant amount of resource into the commercial launch of "3logy", the brand name they have chosen for 3AEY in that region. "For our nematicide product, negotiations are continuing with a multi-national industry leader, and progress has been made towards a satisfactory conclusion. A final agreement is expected this year covering multiple territories around the world, subject to further negotiations.  A number of evaluation projects for both Eden's technologies and products are on-going and I am pleased with the progress that is generally being made, as well as with regulatory progress where territories such as the USA are now being actively pursued. So while I would understand they are not completely in control of time scales I would hope they have a good indication of final sales and will be in a position to update us on negotiations.

Yes it's always good to see directors buying. Still Alex Abrey wil no doubt be pleased that his £70k buy @ 14p is back in the Black.

Very wise CC, I agree we can all get carried away sometimes. What were your pals reasons for heavy buying? and overlooking the negatives?

Your pals CC seem to be optimistic too, surely they must be optimistic after their recent investing.
