Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. has a filed unique patent application relating to the mitigation, treatment and control of viral, fungal and bacterial diseases affecting specific crops worldwide with innovative BAM technology. Extensive trials conducted internationally and domestically have consistently demonstrated BAM’s preventative and curative effects on multiple pathogens. The Company has targeted four core crops, which are facing potentially catastrophic effects from diseases and currently have no effective treatments: Citrus: affected by HLB or citrus greening disease which, over a number of years, kills the tree; Olives: affected by Xylella fastidiosa, which has killed millions of trees in Italy and is now threatening olive trees in Spain, Greece and the United States; Coffee: affected by Coffee Leaf Rust, a fungus, which causes the leaves to fall, reducing coffee harvest yields, and eventually kills the tree; and
Bananas: affected by Panama R4, or banana wilt, severely decreasing yield and crop quality. The Company’s positive results from trials on citrus and olives form a portion of the data submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office with the Company’s unique patent application on August 28, 2020. Plans to test the efficacy of this new product in coffee and banana are currently in progress.
