CHICAGO, October 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to the new market research report "Molluscicides Market by Type (Chemical (Metaldehyde, Methiocarb, Ferric Phosphate) and Biological Molluscicides), Application (Agricultural and Non-Agricultural), Form (Pellets, and Liquid & Gel), and Region - Global Trends & Forecast to 2023", published by MarketsandMarkets, the Molluscicides Market is estimated to be USD 587.8 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 727.8 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period. The high commercial losses incurred due to snail attacks on horticulture crops have increased the usage of molluscicides for these crops. Further, the golden apple snail (GAS) is among the growing species of snails that attack rice crops in Asian countries such as China and Japan. For this reason, the demand for biological molluscicides is increasing significantly across all regions.

I don't have it to hand..atm maybe in my history.

[investingisatrickygame] 29/10/2018 11:00

Super,

What is the South American show Eastman are presenting Cedroz at in November 2018? Do you have the link please?

[investingisatrickygame] 29/10/2018 09:11

Willing sellers?

I'd anticipate very few based on the following:

1) many are locked in at much higher prices from a previous era, business model and management
2) big game changing news (For Eden) is due
3) the company is already significantly undervalued in my opinion even before these pending announcements
4) those that have recently bought are nowhere near 'in the money'
5) we have a new chairman who has global, Eden relevant responsibilities at Bayer and he didn't come here for 20/30/40p
6) current invested 'institutions' are also unlikely here for 20/30/40p and they have a decent collective % of the company
7) Sipcam came in @10p and are doing all this R & D to a) encapsulate pesticides and b) co-encapsulate pesticides with Eden's natural active ingredients.

Massive upside in front of Eden and a long runway too!

[brucie5] 29/10/2018 08:43

And I've been adding a few. Had to pay 13p for one batch. Maybe looking a bit overstretched now, so will wait to see what the retraces along the way look like. I get the sense that there are not many willing sellers out there at these prices, and with expected newsflow.

[dplewis1] 29/10/2018 08:41

Buyer seems to have returned after the weekend. Looking a bit better here and finally justifying my purchase back in August.

[supersonico] 28/10/2018 22:40

[investingisatrickygame] 28/10/2018 22:14

Super, not sure what all that means

[investingisatrickygame] 28/10/2018 21:10

Why do you think he would follow Eden?

When is the conference in south America that eastman are presenting Cedroz next month?

Biocontrol in Demand from Produce Retailers and Consumers



Biological control has moved into the mainstream. After years of experimentation and new and improved technologies, biocontrol is becoming a more regular part of many growers’ integrated pest management (IPM) programs. And the timing couldn’t be better, as consumer demands for more sustainable production methods for the produce and ornamentals they buy are moving back upstream. Retailers have taken notice and many are beginning to set expectations for what they want to see from the growers they choose to buy from.

Cucurbit powdery mildew is a significant challenge for most vegetable growers in the Eastern U.S. Research at Cornell University is looking in detail at how effective different biological controls are in combating the fungus, when used in rotation with either organic or conventional pesticides. You’ll gain insights from research about what biopesticides add to your cucurbit powdery mildew management program, and how they can potentially help you this coming season.

Grape Pests and Biocontrol
Chris Becker
Research Scientist, BAAR Scientific LLC
Eastern grapes for juice or wine have to contend with a challenging mix of disease and insect problems each season, from powdery mildew, downy mildew and botrytis to grape berry moth and leafhoppers. Each pest has biopesticides that fit well into commercial programs. This session will provide you with information on the biology of the pests and a useful overview of the mode of action of the available biopesticides that can help you produce a quality crop next season.

When too much isn’t enough: Does current food production meet global nutritional needs?



Abstract
Sustainably feeding the next generation is often described as one of the most pressing “grand challenges” facing the 21st century. Generally, scholars propose addressing this problem by increasing agricultural production, investing in technology to boost yields, changing diets, or reducing food waste. In this paper, we explore whether global food production is nutritionally balanced by comparing the diet that nutritionists recommend versus global agricultural production statistics. Results show that the global agricultural system currently overproduces grains, fats, and sugars while production of fruits and vegetables and protein is not sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the current population. Correcting this imbalance could reduce the amount of arable land used by agriculture by 51 million ha globally but would increase total land used for agriculture by 407 million ha and increase greenhouse gas emissions. For a growing population, our calculations suggest that the only way to eat a nutritionally balanced diet, save land and reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to consume and produce more fruits and vegetables as well as transition to diets higher in plant-based protein. Such a move will help protect habitats and help meet the Sustainable Development Goals.

Metam-sodium: the Loire-Atlantique prefecture announces stricter controls on the pesticide in the Nantes region



After an emergency meeting, the prefecture decided to control the 200 farms that use this product in the department.
Checks, but no suspension. After the wave of poisoning in the neighboring department of Maine-et-Loire, the prefecture of Loire-Atlantique announces that it will strengthen controls among market gardeners. "The 200 operations of the department [using this product] will be controlled in the coming weeks," said the prefecture, after a meeting of state services convened by the prefect Nicole Klein.
Cases of intoxication were noted in October in the region of Angers, leading the Maine-et-Loire prefecture to suspend the authorization of metam sodium until October 26. On October 9, in Brain-sur-l'Authion (Maine-et-Loire), 61 people - mostly farm workers - had been exposed to a phytosanitary product causing irritations, especially to the eyes, and the same scenario. was repeated three days later in Maze-Milon, a neighboring town, with nine victims.
A department very greedy in metam-sodium
The suspension order, which is renewable, highlighted alleged breaches of regulation, "associated with exceptional weather conditions making the soil too dry and too hot for its safe application". In Loire-Atlantique, "no poisoning of this type has been brought to the attention of state services," said the prefecture. But the department concentrated 39% of sales of the substance in France in 2017, according to official data.
……..

France suspends use of popular pesticide after dozens sickened.

So 12.50 finish. Promising, but I really don't want it to go up too quickly.
