Licensee Update
In the summer of 2009, Eden provided a sample of its lead product, 3AEY, to the Horticulture Research Institute in Egypt to conduct the first in a series of field trials on behalf of Environmental Solutions North Africa Limited, (ESNA) our partner in North Africa.
Samples collected from the three locations indicated that all the grape varieties had complete protection from Botrytis after treating with 3AEY and provided a positive effect by enhancing vegetative growth and chlorophyll content. 3AEY also improved anthocyanin content in the red grape varieties and improved the grape bunch quality when compared to the standard commercial application by increasing berry weight and size, berry length and diameter for the different varieties tested.

Clive Newitt, Managing Director of Eden Research plc, said:
"The results once again demonstrate the excellent activity seen with 3AEY in controlling the Botrytis disease and there is further work planned by ESNA in other fruit and vegetable crops to be initiated in the near future."
Ian Redford, Chief Executive of ESNA, said:
"I am very pleased with these results and am encouraged by the potential that this shows for both Africa and the Middle East."
