Itronics Inc. (OTCBB: ITRO) (FRANKFURT: ITG) (BERLIN: ITG) and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Itronics Metallurgical, Inc., reported
today that the landscape maintenance companies evaluating GOLD'n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent have shown that the product is
effective, long lasting, and does no harm to the deer it repels.
"In all cases reported, the spray applications worked well. In
one trial the leaves of sprayed and unsprayed trees were tested
about ten weeks after application and the leaves of the sprayed
trees were appropriately bitter, exactly what the customer wanted,"
said Dr. John Whitney, Itronics President. No photo-toxicity was
reported in any of the trials.
"Two additional landscape maintenance companies have begun
evaluating GOLD'n GRO Guardian Deer Repellent, at least one company
has expanded its trial, and customers are doing test applications
on evergreen trees this winter," Dr. Whitney said. "The deer
repellent, when used with GOLD'n GRO 8-8-8 +4%S liquid fertilizer,
is systemic, fertilizes the plants while not harming the deer, and
lasts more than 10 weeks, which is excellent news for Itronics and
its stakeholders."
Itronics Metallurgical has developed a simplified procedure for
producing the 20 gallon spray kits which will reduce the cost of
packaging equipment and make it easier to achieve larger scale
production quickly. There will be three packages, a one gallon
spray kit, a 20 gallon spray kit, and a 600 gallon spray kit. The
Company expects that the 20 gallon spray kit will be the package of
choice. Sales development is being focused on 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 next spring once they
have completed their evaluations. There is no other product in the
marketplace that accomplishes what Itronics' deer repellent can do:
Repel and fertilize at the same time.
Itronics Metallurgical has now completed registration of GOLD'n
GRO Guardian Deer Repellent in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Alabama,
Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The problem of deer damage in
suburban areas is most severe in the northeastern states.
Itronics' "Green Environmental Technology" and 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 makes
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.
