| Abstract/Contents: | "There have been many bioherbicide research projects, but very few have become commercial products. Dandelion is an important weed in North America and represents one of the single largest target pests for application of pesticides in North America. Chemical control using 2,4-D is the accepted method of dandelion control but public awareness and concern about the potentially harmful effects of lawn care chemicals lead provincial and municipal governments in Canada to ban the use of pesticides on lawns necessitating the discovery and development of alternative weed control strategies. Now there is an effective biological option. SARRITOR is the first bioherbicide developed and registered in Canada for control of dandelion and other broadleaf weeds in turfgrass. The active ingredient of SARRITOR is a naturally occurring broad host range fungal plant pathogen, Sclerotinia minor (isolate IMI 344141). Commercialization of SARRITOR has been the culmination of combined efforts and innovation stemming from McGill University's weed research laboratory in partnership with McGill's Technology Transfer Office, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, government ministries and laboratories, universities, and industry collaborators. SARRITOR commercial was launched in 2008 while SARRITOR domestic was launched in 2010. U.S. registration is pending." |
