Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. (“Clean Seed” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CSX) is pleased to announce it has received allowance for the grant of patent in Australia and provides an update on India.
Australia – Patent Approval
The Company has received allowance for the grant of patent in Australia for its flow control technology and has submitted the necessary filings to have the patent formally granted. Flow control is one of the core innovations in the Company’s on-demand air system for the SMART Seeder™ technology dovetailing the innovations and processes between the Company’s staged air transfer system and its variable ratio metering system. The on-demand air system is a significant piece of the SMART Seeder™ technology portfolio and a cornerstone to the variable rate metering technology in our seeding and planting equipment.
This regional expansion to the flow control patent family further strengthens our variable rate metering patent family, which effectively extends the overall duration of protection on the portfolio.
MINI-MAX™ India Update
Clean Seed is pleased to report our team is back on the ground in Haryana, India. Last year, members of our team successfully completed two phases of MINI-MAX™ trials. Both phases demonstrated our variable rate small grain seeding capabilities, significantly reduced input requirements and seeded into heavy residue with minimal ground disturbance which is a signature feature of our technology. These efforts resulted in strong yields in very challenging local conditions.
After the successful completion of these 2 phases our team is scheduled to demonstrate corn planting with MINI_MAX™ this coming week with our partners, Northern Mega farmers FPO, Mahindra Group, Mahindra’s Farm Equipment Sector (FES) and CU.
Graeme Lempriere, Chairman and CEO states: “Our MINI-MAX™ is designed to optimize crop production and address some of the critical challenges facing farming in India. Several challenges are at the forefront including limited availability of land and water, excessive tillage, broadcast fertilizer and flood irrigation, soil erosion, stubble management through residue burning, rising input costs, and labor shortages. MINI-MAX™ will undoubtedly usher in a new era of sustainable farming in India and around the world.”
We look forward to updating our shareholders in the coming months on the progress of our MOU with Mahindra and Mahindra Limited recently announced on Feb 13th 2023.
