ORO AGRI, Inc. and BioWorks Sign New Technology Product Distribution Agreement

ORO AGRI, Inc. and BioWorks Inc. signed an agreement to allow BioWorks to market ORO Agri’s technology under the trade name TRICON to the professional nursery/horticulture market in the US effective immediately.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 17, 2006 -- BioWorks will begin a full launch of TRICON by the end of the first Quarter of 2006 with product available in the distribution channel by March 15th. ORO Agri continues to expand its marketing and distribution of PREV-AM for the agricultural markets.

“Our evaluation of TriCon™ involved numerous research and grower trials in which we tested TriCon as a standalone material and as a tank-mix partner. We were very pleased with the level of disease and insect control and crop safety we documented in these trials” stated Dr. Randy Martin, BioWorks Director of Product Development.

“BioWorks is very pleased to add TriCon™ to our product line” according to John Francis, BioWorks Director of Marketing and Technical Services. “TriCon, Tri -- three tools: insecticide, fungicide and surfactant, Con -- contact action, effectively expands a grower’s options for pest control and resistance management. TriCon fits well with the BioWorks strategy of providing environmentally responsible, safe and cost effective solutions to the horticultural industry. We’re confident that growers will use TriCon in their pest control program, either as a stand alone product or as a tank-mix partner, reducing the chance of chemical pesticide resistance while improving overall pest control efficacy, and saving money doing so.”

“This is a bold step forward toward the achievement of our vision”, says Mark Russell, ORO AGRI’s National Director of Sales. “BioWorks is a great company, really focused on the nursery and greenhouse production industry, and who, like us, is seeking creative ways to expand its sales and marketing reach in order to maintain aggressive growth. We see a great fit between the two firms to provide the nursery market segment with TriCon, which has a solid fit for nursery growers. We are delighted with the agreement and collaborative relationship.”
