AquaLiv Releases Commercial Agriculture Product - AgSmart™ Rice

Wednesday, 04 May 2011 12:48

Infrared Systems International (OTCBB:IFRS) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, AquaLiv, Inc., has officially released its first commercialized agriculture product, AgSmart™ Rice.

AquaLiv scientists have been performing agriculture enhancement studies in Japan for over ten years. AgSmart™ has proven to vastly increase the yields and quality in several crops without chemicals or genetic manipulation. The company claims AgSmart™ is the only agriculture biotechnology solution that is also natural and organic standards compliant.

"Our rice study demonstrated a 100% yield increase on a scientist managed plot and a 32% yield increase on a working commercial farm who agreed to implement our technology," stated AquaLiv CEO Craig Hoffman. "These increases indicate significant value to both farms and global food production. To put these numbers in perspective, chemical giant Bayer AG's genetically modified rice product increases yield by only 10%."

Based on AquaLiv's BioT™ Bioinformation Technology, AgSmart™ maximizes crop potential by accelerating plants' natural adaptivity while exposing them to a frequency-based information composite. The information composite includes local environment data (climate, pests, diseases) and traits of other species generally only available through hybridization. AgSmart™ does not involve the actual hybridization of plants nor does it utilize genetic manipulation.

"We continue to be amazed by AquaLiv's technology and the incredible amount of research the company has conducted," added Bill Wright, CEO of Infrared Systems International. "A non-profit committed to increasing rice production in Africa has agreed to test AgSmart™ Rice during this fall's growing season. We are confident that if AgSmart™ proves itself in the harsh conditions of Kenya and Uganda, we will have our first major customer."
