Bee Vectoring's BVT reduces botrytris in strawberries

Mr. Ashish Malik reports: BEE VECTORING TECHNOLOGIES CONFIRMS SUCCESSFUL LARGE SCALE US COMMERCIAL DEMONSTRATIONS ON STRAWBERRIES
 
Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. has provided successful, verified results from large commercial-scale demonstrations of its proprietary crop production system, with strawberry growers in Florida.
 
The demonstrations were conducted in the Plant City area of Hillsborough County, Florida, the main winter strawberry growing region in the US which produces around 20 million flats of strawberries on 11,000 acres every year. Three influential growers who combined, control about 30% of the production in the region, expressed interest in gauging how the BVT System, consisting of a bumble bee hive with proprietary dispenser technology through which BVT's proprietary plant beneficial microbe BVT-CR7 is delivered to crops using bumble bees, could improve the productivity of their farming operations and how it could be incorporated into their crop production practices on a commercial scale. The demonstration fields were assessed for both (a) control of botrytis gray mold, a costly disease in strawberries which causes the fruit to rot and reduces the shelf life of berries, and (b) the ability to improve marketable yield.
