Eden Research Share Discussion Threads

[northwick] 06/2/2018 11:45

LittlealbatrossEven if does issue good figures there is no guarantee that there shareholders itching to jump in! Eden has to work with both the current @ potential shareholders to prompt its cause which, clearly, it doesn't. One may have to wait a few more years to see value in Eden.

Hopefully,Eden might have something positive to report in about 7 weeks when Prelims are due.

Maybe Eden would be kind enough to tell us!

I'm not sure of Eastman's plans for Cedroz in the US and was surprised the US was not on it's recent list of dossier submissions ...anyone have any insights into this??... here is some US news...

The strawberry industry is about to change forever- Strawberries pesticides and soil Fumigants;

So my no doubt biased and brief back of a envelope review is that Cedroz is a more effective and targeted* (non toxic to beneficial Nematodes) Nematicide, has better MRL performance than NIMITZ, is less Toxic than NIMITZ a Nematicide which ADAMA described in 2015,

“As the first new chemical nematicide to be developed in more than 20 years, NIMITZ will fill an industry-wide demand for highly-effective nematode control as companies phase out older, more toxic and environmentally-hazardous nematicides.

I assume these will be the Taminco/Eastman fumigants being replaced by Cedroz

Investing,
It's always interesting to see what other companies say about the Market.

This from Adama; re their product Nimitz



ADAMA, a world leader in customer-focused agricultural solutions, announced today that NIMITZ, a novel, non-fumigant nematicide with simplified application features and unmatched user safety, has received federal registration from the EPA.

The active ingredient in NIMITZ has a unique mode of action which categorizes the product within a new chemical classification. The U.S. is the first country to receive a federal registration, with approved crop uses on cucurbits, (including cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupe and squash), and fruiting vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, okra and eggplants).

“NIMITZ is the nematicide that growers have been waiting for,” says Herb Young, ADAMA brand leader. “It is highly effective in controlling plant-parasitic nematodes. It also has a ‘Caution’ signal word which has never existed until now for a chemical nematicide. No other nematicide in the world currently has this same mode of action or classification.”

ADAMA’s latest entry is a new paradigm for nematode control on high value crops. NIMITZ eliminates stringent use requirements of fumigant nematicides including Fumigant Management Plans, re-entry intervals (REI), 24-hour field monitoring and restrictive buffer zones.

“In contrast to fumigant nematicides, NIMITZ simplifies nematode management by lessening complex handling practices and application restrictions,” says Young. “NIMITZ has no REI and does not require certified applicator training. Also, personal protective equipment (PPE) is minimal.”

Revolutionizing global nematode control

Nematodes are among the most destructive and problematic pests for growers worldwide, causing yield loss of more than $100 billion annually. In the U.S., restricted use pesticides, primarily fumigants, have been a traditional means for controlling nematodes.

Since 2007, more than 1,000 field trials and hundreds of regulatory studies have been conducted in 23 countries to demonstrate the effectiveness and unique handling benefits of NIMITZ. This research consistently shows nematode control with NIMITZ as being competitive with the most popular commercial standards.

“As the first new chemical nematicide to be developed in more than 20 years, NIMITZ will fill an industry-wide demand for highly-effective nematode control as companies phase out older, more toxic and environmentally-hazardous nematicides,” says Pablo A. Navia, ADAMA innovation technical leader. “NIMITZ provides a non-restricted use pesticide alternative that is effective, easy to apply, and with lower environmental impact.”

Cited by Navia as a ‘true’ nematicide, NIMITZ causes irreversible and rapid nematicidal activity immediately following an application. Within one hour of contact, nematodes cease feeding and quickly become paralyzed. Within 24 to 48 hours, pest mortality occurs rather than temporary nematostatic (immobilizing) activity, as seen with organophosphate and carbamate nematicides.

Nice to see, but too top level and irrelevant to the Eden relationship. What is their performance in the nematicide market, therefore what is Eden's potential via this commercial arrangement?

[supersonico] 02/2/2018 12:27

Norhtwick, No idea.
Investing, It's just my opinion. Could be one could be more. I could easily be wrong.

[investingisatrickygame] 02/2/2018 12:08

Supersonico,

If someone is accumulating, who and how much.

3% requires a declaration of holding.

3% equates to 6.2 million shares.

If someone is accumulating it is unlikely to be a private individual as they don't 'accumulate' as such, moreso that build or obtain a holding.

Someone with a purpose 'accumulates' a position with a goal in mind. So Company X is accumulating a position and this has been going on for some while? They don't yet have 3% and even if they did it would give them little clout.

Are multiple bodies building a position? If they are, that might be considered a concert party "a number of parties who separately invest in a company with the concealed intention of using their holdings as a single block." Am I right in saying that acting as a concert party for the purpose of acquiring stock is forbidden?

So I am struggling to accept that someone(s), whomever they may be, is accumulating stock.

Who and for what purpose do you assume is stock building?

[northwick] 02/2/2018 12:06

Supersonica Could you please throw some light as to why Eden or Sipcam has failed to announce any label extensions of 3logy so far? It has been some 7 months since the Eden signed contracts with Sipcam, whose responsibility was to seek these extension? Regards

Stéphane Travert, Minister of Agriculture opened the biocontrol conference organized by the IBMA on January 30th. "The EGA roadmap for phyto products is an opportunity for biocontrol. I will listen to your proposals made in the framework of the consultation. [...] France will ask for recognition at European level of biocontrol products because this category does not exist in the European regulation. As part of the ongoing revision of this regulation, France will ask to provide a specific status for biocontrol at the European level, as has been done in France, "he detailed.
He briefly mentioned the separation of sales and advice: "Biocontrol products could benefit from specific provisions. "

The 250k trade shown late on Monday 29th was actually traded on Friday 26th.

Like Supersonico I view both 250k trades as buys.

[supersonico] 01/2/2018 19:42

Well on this subject we will have to agree to disagree my fellow travellers.

[investingisatrickygame] 01/2/2018 19:32

Volume is far too low for any stake building.

[northwick] 01/2/2018 19:09

Supersonica I believe there was trade printed earlier this week for 250K at 8.5pUnless I am totally mistaken, MM have three to 4 days to declare their trades. They are known to be mischievous and, as it is their business, buy back the shares cheaper by declaring the sell side of the trade earlier than the buy side. Eden shares will not rise until such time there is clear evidence of increased profits and cash.

SupersonicaToday's early print of a 250k trade at 8.55 could be a roll trade into Isa. Maybe it is connected to a trade of last Monday of 250k at 8.5p. In this market, no MM would be willing to buy or sell outside Market size. MM will offer close to 8p if one decides to sell 100k shares. Therefore I don't believe someone is building a stake, yet.

DOT NEWS / Resistance/ Germany/

Farmers are increasingly confronted with resistance. Against weeds, fungi and harmful insects, chemical pesticides then no longer work. Practitioners raise the alarm.

Resistance to pesticides
Turboland economy reaches the limits of nature.



The farmers are always finding it more difficult to control plant pests and insects that eat corn or oilseed rape - or even no effective chemicals. The reason is that plants and insects develop resistance to agrochemicals from corporations like Bayer and Syngenta. Experts say, for example, that chemical herbicides were no longer safe against the resistant grass weed.

The resistances make it hard for the farmers from Mecklenburg to the low mountain ranges. For example, arable weevil has recently developed resistance to the previously safe herbicides Atlantis (from Bayer), Caliban (Cheminova), Broadway (Dow Agro), Traxos and Axial (both Syngenta), as recent field trials by Bayer's Crop Protection Service have shown. The phenomenon parallels the increasing resistance of bacteria harmful to humans, against which no or only.

Resistant wind stalk
Here, the arable weevil is not the only "problematic herb": In the agricultural magazines, worrying reports are piling up. In Hesse, there are now multi-resistant wild straws, warns the state farm Agriculture Hesse. They get used to chemical herbicides and excrete the drug through the metabolism - instead of perishing.
Experts agree that propagating resistant grasses is one cause of the peasants often failing to plow - instead, they "clean up" the field with glyphosate before sowing and later spray "selective" herbicides against the grasses. There are also reports of resistant harmful insects. Examples include the rape beetle and several flower pests. The Kohlschotenrüssler is also resistant to certain chemical agents in northern Germany - as is the rapeseed oilloaf.

Ever higher herbicide costs
Therefore, the practitioners of conventional agriculture are now calling for a "change of system". This January, the voices are increasing: more pronounced crop rotations and a greater variety of cereals and crops are needed, admonish Berthold Ilgen from the College of Engineering Dresden and Detlev Dölger from the agricultural trader Hanse Agro. Otherwise, it would be very expensive for the farmers themselves. The experts write in a contribution to the journal "DLG-Mitteilungen", that the "herbicide costs in recent years, not only absolute, but also relatively increased." They would have doubled for companies in crisis-ridden regions of northern Germany - adjusted for inflation.

Not only are the harvests beginning to stagnate or go back, as one can observe mostly in northern Germany. There are also higher costs for the farmers. Their dependence on new chemicals from corporations such as Bayer, Monsanto and Syngenta is increasing. What makes the corporations happy and procures the necessary funds for big acquisitions, worries the farmers.
Way out? Difficult
In their contribution, Ilgen and Dölger draw the picture of agriculture that has been successful for decades, but all too short-term economically motivated - with tight crop rotations and susceptible high-yielding varieties, which has no future. It goes in parts of Germany "no longer to the question of whether one should change the many years of very successful farming systems, but how," write the experts. Auswege are difficult, because they are often associated with financial losses for the farmers.
Farmers tell in private that for years, the ultimate outcome is that the turbo-efficient system of close crop rotation and early sowing can only last because the chemical companies are bringing new active ingredients to market on time. "It's a ride on the knife's edge," says a farmer. The agrochemical industry itself also warns that the active ingredients are scarce. The German Farmers Association pushes the black Peter to Brussels - and says that the environmental and consumer protection requirements are too sharp.

The fields are exhausted
Meanwhile, from northern Germany to the Hessian highlands the picture of an exhausted agricultural system emerges: Close crop rotations of rapeseed, occasionally corn and winter cereals - also for the subsidized cultivation of energy crops - made pests easy, according to the experts Ilgen and Dölger. Both write: "In the course of always the same close crop rotations, the weediness sets in on the herbicides used."

Resistance is found in cereal fungi such as Septoria, Halmgrund and mildew. Farmers tend to use more chemical fungicides year by year. Also difficult to combat are chamomile, Kentucky, cornflower and dogwood, according to the DLG-Mitteilungen. Narrow crop rotations and large-scale cultivation of the same crops also determine their distribution. The vermin verticillium and cabbage fly can not be "chemically controlled". So-called fatigue diseases of plants such as Verticillium wilt, stem rot or Weißstengeligkeit spread.

Depending on the chemistry
In the long term, farmers are threatened with significant losses in yields. But the short-term transition to other farming systems is not easy. The dependence on chemistry is enormous. The chemical weed control in the spring currently secures 30 percent of the yields, says the specialist Klaus Gehring of the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture. For example, only a conversion of the arable system with later sowing would help against the field foxtail.

Farmers all over the world are struggling with resistance - in the United States and Brazil, too, against the total herbicide glyphosate. This is used in conjunction with genetically modified soy and corn. Maybe this is also why in 2016 the proportion of areas that were planted with genetically modified varieties back.

Brief history of botanical and microbial pesticides and their current market.

According to Berkshire Hathaway, the global biopesticides market is projected to reach a value of $8.8 billion by 2022, representing annual average growth of 17% from 2016 (Brzoskiewicz, 2018). Primary growth factors affecting the biopesticides market include growth in crop production, ease of application, increase the in need for organic food, and growing preference for sustainable pest control methods. Although biopesticides currently account for approximately 2% of the plant protectants used globally, the growth rate indicates an increasing trend during the past two decades, wherein the global use of biopesticides is increasing steadily by 10% every year (Brzoskiewicz, 2018)
