A growth promotant for canola crops has picked up Canadian Food Inspection Agency approval for a new liquid formulation.
BrettYoung’s BioBoost, which includes a patented strain of rhizobacteria Delftia acidovorans, is expected to be available in the new formulation, branded BioBoost Liquid, for canola growers’ use this spring.
“We launched this product on a limited basis in the U. S. last year and have been very encouraged by the yield performance reported by our customers,” BrettYoung’s co-CEO Calvin Sonntag said in a release.
“That performance has already translated into significant growth in demand this year for the product.”
BioBoost Liquid, which will be marketed by the 40-acre package is mixed with water and applied after crop emergence as a spray at the zero-to six-leaf stage of canola.
The company said its new product may also be tank-mixed with glyphosate and applied with the first application of the herbicide on Genuity Roundup Ready canola.
