Preparing Nemastim to ship to our partners at the USDA so they can conduct field trials in Florida orchards. It is a great pleasure to move forward with field trails after our successful greenhouse trails which prepared us to enter the greenhouse growers market to bring the first nematode pheromone to the market.
