Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO) (FRANKFURT: ITG) (BERLIN: ITG) today
reported that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical,
Inc., has received GOLD'n GRO Guardian registration in three more
states, Alabama, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, bringing the number of
states in which GOLD'n GRO Guardian is registered to ten.
Registration is pending in New York.
Itronics Metallurgical received an amended GOLD'n GRO Guardian
Deer Repellent label which provides for use in a spray tank mix
with GOLD'n GRO 8-8-8+4% S liquid fertilizer. When the GOLD'n GRO
Guardian Deer Repellent is used with GOLD'n GRO fertilizer in a
spray tank mix, the treatment fertilizes the plants and becomes
systemic, meaning the repelling characteristics are absorbed into
the treated plants and will not wash off in rain. In experimental
treatments, the repelling characteristics lasted up to 3 months and
in late fall test applications, the treatment lasted during the
winter. The amended label makes it possible for GOLD'n GRO Guardian
customers to receive the dual benefit of fertilization and systemic
deer repellency.
Several shipments of one-gallon spray kits have been made to
qualified Landscape Maintenance businesses that are licensed for
spraying pesticides in states where GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer
Repellent is registered. Reports from trials underway indicate the
spray applications work well. In one trial the leaves of sprayed
and unsprayed trees were tested about two weeks after application
and the leaves of the sprayed trees were appropriately bitter. In
another trial the customer reported satisfaction with the first
application and is purchasing more spray kits. In a third trial,
the customer reported no evidence of deer damage in the third week
after application and has ordered more spray kits to expand its
evaluation and testing program.
In one field trial the customer was able to measure the area
covered compared to the label recommendation, which is to "spray
the plants to wet the leaves, but not to run off." After some
practice, the spray covered about three times the area stated on
the label. About two weeks after the application the leaves of
sprayed plants were suitably bitter and distasteful to humans. No
deer damage was noted, but the trial plots need to be observed for
two to three months to complete the evaluation. If test results
prove out, the effectiveness of GOLD'n GRO Guardian will be several
times greater than the leading deer repellent.
Itronics Metallurgical also announced it is offering a 20-gallon
spray kit as well as a one-gallon spray kit. The current focus of
sales development is to establish relationships with Landscape
Maintenance companies that have licensed spray application
capabilities and experience, and are in those states in which the
GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent is registered. These companies
will be able to quickly get customer applications started once they
have evaluated the GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent. Itronics
Metallurgical has now completed registration of GOLD'n GRO Guardian
Deer Repellent in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Alabama, Delaware,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode
Island. The northeastern states are where the problem of deer
damage in suburban areas is most severe.
"Itronics' on-going growth is a result of years of research and
development that has made its innovative vertically integrated
photochemical recycling technology that completely converts the
waste stream to pure silver, and its high quality GOLD'n GRO brand
of environmentally compatible fertilizers a success. GOLD'n GRO
Guardian Deer Repellent is a direct extension of the GOLD'n GRO
technology and opens up a large new, rapidly growing, market
segment for the Company," said Dr. John Whitney, President.
