How to resolve AdBlock issue? Manipulator, a plant growth regulator introduced to Canada by Engage Agro in 2015, has not been approved for wheat exports into the U.S.
Engage's Tom Tregunno confirmed this, saying "Engage Agro does not anticipate the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the U.S. will establish import tolerances prior to the 2016 season."
Chlormequat, the active ingredient in Manipulator, will also not be accepted by major grain companies in Western Canada.
Growers are encouraged to talk to their grain buyers before applying Manipulator to make sure they have a market.
