Saskatoon, Saskatchewan--(Newsfile Corp. - December 10, 2025) - MustGrow Biologics Corp. (TSXV: MGRO) (OTCQB: MGROF) (FSE: 0C0) (the "Company" or "MustGrow"), a leading provider of biological and regenerative agriculture solutions, is pleased to announce outstanding performance metrics on its organic TerraSante^TM biofertility product applied to potato farming acres in Washington State and Idaho, based on customer performance data.

In its use by a Washington State farming customer, TerraSante^TM demonstrated a consistent and substantial potato yield, size, and quality increase at a dose rate of 11 lbs/acre. This customer performance data was generated on a large-scale commercial potato field. With the increase in size, quality and yield, the farmer estimated an approximate US$5,000 increase in value per acre at a cost of only US$180 per acre for TerraSante^TM. Work done in fields in Idaho has also shown significant benefits to the soil and health of the potato crops when used within a currently established grower production program.

These large-scale field trial results are consistent with small plot results that MustGrow has completed in the U.S. with TerraSante^TM, as outlined in the following table:

TerraSante^TM for Soil and Ecological Health

MustGrow's biofertility program focuses on soil and soil microbiome health, nutrient and water use efficiencies, and plant yields. Soil is a farmer's most valuable asset, and MustGrow's mustard plant-based technologies are being applied with the intention to improve not only the health of the soil, but also the surrounding ecological environment.

TerraSante^TM, an organic biofertilizer in soluble mixable form, contains nutritious plant proteins and carbohydrates that feed the soil and soil microbes, potentially improving beneficial microbial activity and ensuring long-term sustainable soil health. These targeted micro-communities have been shown to work to improve nutrient availability, which can potentially increase plant vigor and yields, while reducing plant stress. TerraSante^TM has the potential to improve crop nutrient uptake and, hence, overall crop performance. There are no artificial additives or preservatives used during its manufacturing.
