Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. Issued Patent for its Commercial Product for Agriculture, BAM-FX™, by the United States Patent and Trademark Office

BOCA RATON, Fla.— (February 24, 2016),– Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc.’s (ZGSI or the Company) (Pink Sheets: ZGSI), an agricultural biotechnology public company commercializing its technology derived from and designed for Space with significant applications on Earth, has previously announced the notification of approval for BAM-FX by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The Company today was issued U.S. Patent No. 9,266,785 for BAM-FX.

BAM-FX is the first formulation of a family of BAM (Bio Available Minerals) products designed to increase crop yields and quality while also addressing crop plant mineral deficiencies and the stress related challenges facing agriculture worldwide. Major problems facing agriculture include population growth and the hidden hunger of humans on our planet known globally as crop mineral deficiencies in (zinc, selenium, iron and iodine), and coping with the now common weather events resulting in excessive heat and drought, frost and wind damage. Furthermore, soil degradation caused by excessive use of chemicals/fertilizers and subsequent damage to aquifers and water bodies caused by run-off can all be potentially mitigated by adopting the use of Precision Agricultural micronutrient products such as BAM-FX that help increase the efficiencies of fertilizer use.

“These agricultural problems can be addressed through precision farming techniques along with the use of new technology innovations, such as BAM-FX. BAM-FX provides the means to deliver bioavailable forms of micronutrients, such as copper and zinc in precise ratios through our technology, which allows these micronutrients to actually enter into the plants cells. This results in visibly better growth, enhanced yields with better food quality and other crop benefits including observed plant stress tolerance,” stated Glenn Stinebaugh, ZGSI’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

“The final issuance of the patent represents an important milestone relating to the Company’s intellectual property estate now being monetized,” stated Harvey Kaye, Chairman of ZGSI.
