Premier
Tech is taking the lead in the manufacturing and commercialization of the
project.
In
January, the Horticulture and Agriculture Group signed a license agreement with
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to finalize the development and
commercialization of a product formulated from an indigenous fungus.
Over
the decade, the federal department invested millions of dollars in research on
the fungus and its compounds which can eliminate broadleaved weeds,
particularly dandelions.
It is
yet to be seen whether Ontario will approve the product for household use.
