The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has proposed full registration for the sale and use of Marrone Bio Innovations(MBI)
Reynoutria sachalinensis Bioprotectant Technical Regalia Maxx Biofungicide Liquid Concentrate, containing the technical grade active ingredient extract of
R. sachalinensis, for partial suppression of dollar spot and foliar anthracnose in turf. The public comments will be closed on June 20, 2015.
The active ingredient is a plant extract from giant knotweed (
R. sachalinensis). When sprayed on certain plant species, the extract triggers an induced systemic resistance response that acts as an internal defence mechanism against plant pathogens. In turn, this response can suppress the development of disease in treated plants.
