Marrone also targets new markets for which there are no available conventional chemical pesticides or the use of conventional chemical products may not be desirable or permissible because of health and environmental concerns. All of the Company’s current products are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and registered as “biopesticides,” or biological pesticides based on microorganisms, plants and other natural products. The Company’s current portfolio of products and product pipeline address the growing global demand for effective, safe and environmentally responsible products.
