MiteXstream^TM Seeks to Become First-Ever EPA "Design for Environment" Labeled Biopesticide

FLOWER MOUND, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2021 / Black Bird Biotech, Inc., currently DBA Digital Development Partners, Inc. (OTC PINK:DGDM), announced today that it has decided to apply to have its MiteXstream biopesticide qualify as the first-ever biopesticide to earn the EPA's "Design for Environment" logo.

"MiteXstream^TM is classified as a pesticide because it kills targeted pests, but it is not a ‘poisonous' substance that most associate with a pesticide. Furthermore, having MiteXstream^TM become the first biopesticide to gain the EPA's DfE logo would put an exclamation point on that reality," said Eric Newlan, DGDM's Vice President. "As a layman knowing its plant-based, food-grade qualities, the exceptional performance of the biotechnology that MiteXstream^TM embodies is simply amazing; and with the low end-user cost factored in, it becomes easy to see MiteXstream^TM as game-changing product, especially within the exploding cannabis industry." Mr. Newlan further stated that it is important to understand that the MiteXstream^TM market also includes many agricultural staple crops, including coffee, hops, bananas, strawberries and blueberries, as well as houseplants.

What the DfE Logo Means. On Biopesticide Product Labels, according to the EPA, the DfE logo means the product:

• is the least-hazardous (III or IV) of EPA's acute - has no unresolved or unreasonable adverse effects
  • toxicity category hierarchy; reported;
• is unlikely to have carcinogenic or endocrine - has no unresolved compliance or enforcement
  • disruptor properties; actions associated with it; and
• is unlikely to cause developmental, reproductive, - has the identical formulation as the one identified
  • mutagenic or neurotoxicity issues; actions associated with it.
• contains mixtures that have been reviewed and
  • accepted by EPA, including inert ingredients; Source: www.epa.gov

More About MiteXstream^TM

As a technology that is designed to defeat pests' resistance capabilities and that delivers high effectiveness at low cost, MiteXstream^TM will have global appeal to farmers and others engaged in the agricultural industry, including the exploding cannabis industry. The major issues associated with the current commonly used pesticides on the market, in addition to pests' developing resistance, include that these pesticides can reduce populations of important insects, cause groundwater pollution, adversely affect genetics of plants, cause adverse health effects on farmers and contaminate the crops themselves. When applied, MiteXstream^TM is designed so as not to cause these issues.
