Ann: APVMA approval for TERMILONE , page-12

Not alone there - have a look at what happened to ANP the other day. Missed the early action - caught in Sydney traffic but still offloaded LTH at 9c - take it when it comes. I'm sitting back in the cue in the 5's.

Now to termilone, dont underestimate the value of this to BPO. The key to any progress is the TG approval. if you cant get this through then forget the rest and forget commercialisation. Believe me if you will - I know because this is what I do - but I have no link with BPO - just a scientific interest.

There are many Tg approvals that sit and do nothing in terms of sales - it depends on who discovers it and who is interested whether it progresses to a blockbuster - think Glyphosate (Round-up) and Imidacloprid (Confidor). Termilone doesn't really bat in the same league but it is good enough to attract attention.

Also consider gradual changes in philosophy towards more natural products or at least less toxic solutions.

None of this helps the trader or the disgruntled LTH (up till now) but it worth considering the science for the long-term.
