Innovotech Inc. ("Innovotech" and/or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: IOT) is pleased to announce the results of its 2008 Field Trials for its new seed treatment, Agress(TM). Innovotech tested Agress(TM) against bacterial bean blight on dry beans, peas and soybeans in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in replicated small plot studies.

"The results from the study clearly demonstrate that Agress(TM) performs at least as well as, and in some cases far superior to Agricultural Streptomycin in providing disease control in the pulse crops tested," says Damian Sowa, Product Manager, Innovotech. "It is well known that governments around the world have concerns regarding Agricultural Streptomycin because of the build-up of bacterial resistance. Our studies have shown that Agress(TM) can an effective replacement for Streptomycin. Innovotech has already initiated studies of other plant diseases such as fire blight, where the use of Agricultural Streptomycin is currently the product of choice."

Innovotech anticipates regulatory approval for Agress(TM) in Canada and the United States in mid to late 2009, permitting product availability for the 2010 crop season. Research is currently underway to expand the claims of Agress(TM) to major crops in North America and additional disease classes.
