B: reWORKS Tests Positive in University of Guelph Trials ( Market Wire )
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep 27, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
reWORKS Environmental Corp. (TSX VENTURE: REW), today announced that
the University of Guelph Turfgrass Institute has released preliminary
results from fertility trials of its worm castings, which are
produced by its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Forterra Inc.
As stated in a report by Dr. Ken Carey of the University of Guelph
Turfgrass Institute, the worm castings had a significant positive
effect on germination, shoot growth and establishment in all three
turfgrass species tested. Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass and
creeping bentgrass were tested in the study. A series of trials
measured the effects of using Forterra worm castings in the growing
mix, compared to growing media without worm castings. The rate of
germination, growth of the shoot system, establishment of seedlings,
seedling vigour, turf performance (colour and quality), and total
root system growth were all evaluated during the trials.
"The results are in line with our expectations and our experience
that Forterra is an effective, organic soil care solution for the
turf industry and other large scale users.", said Gary Gould,
President of reWORKS. "These trials are just the beginning of an
ongoing program of testing by accredited research organizations."
