The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) and the Biostimulant Coalition are forming a Biostimulant Council to address regulatory issues together.
TFI President and CEO Corey Rosenbusch tells Brownfield Ag News biostimulants are an important and growing area of crop production that must be accurately defined, “We want to make sure that a biostimulant is viewed as a plant nutrition product and that it’s not a plant growth regulator that might be subject to an EPA FIFRA registration, for example.”
He says the groups have already had some success with the Trump administration which has defined biostimulants properly in some of their recent registrations.
