Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council

After approximately eight years of research and development, BrettYoung Seeds applied to the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council (MRAC) in 2007 for funding to proceed with the pre-commercialization of its BioBoost line of seed inoculants.

BrettYoung’s BioBoost Liquid was recently granted registration by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for use on canola in western Canada. BioBoost Liquid contains a patented strain of a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Registration trial data indicates an average seven per cent yield improvement compared to the untreated check.
