Beneficial microbes form the backbone of Eco Soil's proprietary product lines. There are numerous strains of microbes that have proven efficacy in university studies for improving plant health including:

• Disease suppression
• Root development
• Soil conditioning
• Increased crop yield
• Rapid germination

Eco Soil offers a unique approach by delivering select microbes to the field through BioJect and FreshPack.

BioJect is a patented, EPA approved, on-site fermentation and delivery system that grows beneficial microbes to a high concentration and automatically injects them into the irrigation system of golf courses, sod and agricultural farms.

FreshPack offers similar biological programs that are packaged and delivered to the site fresh, via next day or second day air. These products can be applied with conventional equipment and are designed to treat 1-3 acres of turf.

Market - Agriculture
In 1998, the worldwide agricultural market spent $31 billion on chemicals to treat soil and water problems that cause plant diseases, insect infestation and soil contamination. Damage to crops is estimated to be in the billions of dollars each year. Specific to those crops currently under BioJect treatment and drip irrigation (tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, melons, potatoes, etc.), the potential market is in excess of $245 million. Additional focus crops such as cotton, alfalfa, corn, etc. will substantially increase this potential market.

Market - Turf
There are approximately 16,000 golf courses in the US, which are estimated to spend over $1 billion annually on turf maintenance products and services. Eco Soil is the second largest turf maintenance distributor in the US, serving 7,500 golf courses in 32 states, or over 45% of the US golf course market. More than 900 golf courses use our proprietary products and we are aggressively targeting the remaining 6,600 customers for proprietary BioJect and/or FreshPack product sales.

Key trends in the market that support Eco Soil's programs include:

• Environmental public awareness
• Water scarcity, cost, and quality
• Increasingly restrictive government regulations on pesticide use
• Availability of microbial strains for commercialization
