GBM is a Mexican company based in
Saltillo, Coahuila, which has been operating in Latin America mainly, but
also in North America, and parts of Europe, for 30 years. The objective of
the existing project is to fully validate and comprehend the effects and
properties of these two products (a fulvic acid and a natural plant growth
regulator) in order to successfully market the GBM products in the U.S.
vegetable and fruit production industries. For the initial trials, the
crops chosen were lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, squash and melons, for these
are intensive crops that are widely grown in the vegetable production
areas of the western U.S. The trials were basically designed to find in
these products: Tangible benefits in regards of yield, quality,
post-harvest characteristics, etc., and their mode of action on a
physiological level, which will permit to technically support their
commercial development.
