Bilal Scientific advisor to: ZEOVITA GmbH profdrabilal@aol.comprofdrabilal@aol.com, prof.abdel.bilal@zeovita.de*prof.abdel.bilal@zeovita.de Presented at the 3rd e-Conference on Agricultural BioSciences (IeCAB 2010), held online from1st -15th June 2010 at http://www.m.elewa.org/econferenceIeCAB.php

2. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 2 Radish in Egypt: Left with Lithovit (Notice the much bigger roots), Right without Lithovit

3. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 3 Salad in Egypt: Left with Lithovit (Notice the much bigger root and the bigger leaves.) Right without Lithovit.

4. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 4 Haricot beans in Egypt: Left: with Lithovit application (Notice the strong increase of the pods and the much intense coloration). Yield increase : 45% Right: without Lithovit

5. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 5  Left : Scarlet Runner Beans; those to the left of the pole treated with Lithovit®, those to the right not.  Centre : leeks treated with Lithovit ®; Right: untreated leeks.  In both cases, the positive effect of the use of Lithovit ® is clearly apparent: it both accelerates growth and leads to a substantially better harvest.

6. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 6  Left: tomatoes treated with Lithovit ®, plant retained its full vitality until the first night frosts in November.  Right: untreated plants (photos taken in late September).

7. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 7 Increase of leaf thickness (from 2.6 to 3.2 mm), leaf strength and return of natural appearance (reduced damages by winds) Dark green colored leaves (increased photosynthesis) Healthier vigorous plants (decreased stress) Reduced parasite and fungal infestation (reduced use of plant protection agents). Reduced water requirement (increased drought tolerance in dry periods). Slower maturation and better taste (enhanced quality). Longer, thicker and straighter banana fruits with higher distances between the fruit rows (increased quantity)

8. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 8 Water melon: left with Lithovit, right without (Croatia)

9. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 9 Red pepper, left with Lithovit, right without (Italy)

11. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 11 Rice in Egypt: Remarkable greenish color on the treated plantations and yield increase of 10 tons/hectare

12. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 12 Left : Vines treated with Lithovit had dark green leaves and healthy grapes. Grape variety: Müller-Thurgau; location: Werder, Havel; early August 2007 Right: Untreated vines showed lighter coloured leaves and a noticeable browning of the leaf edges. Grape variety: Müller-Thurgau; location: Werder, Havel; early August 2007

13. 3rd IeCAB Symposium held on June 1-15, 2010 13 Left picture: Comparison of grapes with (left) and without Lithovit treatment (right). Grape variety: Domina; location: Ulsenheim, Bavaria; September 2007 Right picture: Comparison of grapes with (left) and without Lithovit treatment (right). Grape variety: Silvaner; location: Ulsenheim, Bavaria; September 2007
