hi..Interesting news:


Nuvilex, Inc. Reports that Phase 2 Microplot Trials of Oraphyte Confirm it To
Be a Commercially Viable All-Natural Nematocide



CHERRY HILL, N.J., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nuvilex, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: NVLX) announced today that it has received the final report
from its Phase 2 microplot trials investigating the use of Oraphyte(TM) as an
all-natural, eco-friendly nematocide for the turfgrass market with results
supporting the commercial viability of the product. Over the past three
years, nematologist and plant pathologist Edward McGawley, Ph.D. of the
Louisiana State University's Agricultural Center (LSU AgCenter) has
investigated the use of Oraphyte(TM) on several species of turfgrass,
including St. Augustine turfgrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), bermudagrass
(Cynodon dactylon), and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis).


During the summer of 2009, Dr. McGawley and his team of researchers applied
Oraphyte(TM) to the soil of microplots that contained bermudagrass and
creeping bentgrass. The primary goals of the Phase 2 microplot trials were to
determine if Oraphyte(TM) could substantially reduce the populations of six
nematode genera while causing minimal damage to the blades and root structures
of turfgrass. Results from the Phase 2 microplot trials indicate that one
treatment of 7% Oraphyte(TM) is able to reduce the nematode population while
causing little or no damage to the blades and root structures of turfgrass.
Further turf studies with Oraphyte(TM) are underway in a recreational golf
environment.


"With these results in hand, we are able to work toward finalizing our ongoing
discussions with a Fortune 100 company, as well as other private companies
operating in the pesticide industry that have expressed an interest in
licensing the Oraphyte(TM) product for other crop-related uses," stated Martin
Schmieg, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvilex, Inc. "Our objective
is to establish a long-term licensing agreement for the marketing and sale of
Oraphyte(TM), and with every favorable test result we receive, we move closer
to making this goal a reality."
