IOT Innovotech Inc

Syngenta Crop Protection Canada, Inc. today announced its intent to work with
Innovotech (TSX VENTURE:IOT), a Canadian biotechnology product development
company, clearing the way for continued research trials in North America on the
new plant bacterial blight research product, oxysilver nitrate.


Earlier this year Innovotech and Syngenta entered into a mutually beneficial
agreement by which Syngenta will conduct research trials of oxysilver nitrate in
a seed treatment application for control of bacterial blight.


"We are very pleased to play a part in the development of this new technology,"
said Coby Long, North American Seed Care marketing head at Syngenta. "We believe
it is important to continually seek out new innovative pest management solutions
for producers, both in North America and worldwide."


Bacteria, like fungi, exist in the soil as part of a dynamic agricultural
system. Dry beans as well as other crops, can be greatly affected by bacterial
diseases. Bacterial blight is a serious problem for many crops with very few
acceptable control products available to Canadian producers.

company that bases its product line on its unique understanding of biofilms.
Currently, Innovotech has products in medical diagnostics and agriculture, and
is constantly developing new products or improvements to its existing product
lines. For more information please go to www.innovotech.ca.
