Phoenix, U.S. – BioNovelus, Inc. announces that four thousand (4,000) bottles of its biodegradable fungicide, CR-10, the answer to killing coffee rust, has been manufactured for delivery to Costa Rica.
Mr. Jean Ekobo, President/CEO of BioNovelus, Inc., says, “This CR-10 allotment is slotted for ongoing tests with our partners, as well as to satisfy pre-orders. This represents a huge milestone for our Company and its shareholders, because it brings BioNovelus closer to Revenue Stage.”
“Our tests have shown that one bottle of CR-10 will treat one hectare of a coffee plantation. Coffee farmers will need 3 applications per growing season to effectively and safely kill the coffee rust.”
