Deloitte & Touche conducted a preliminary study to identify strategic opportunityareas for Canada in the field of microbial pesticides and inoculants. The study was commissioned by Industry Science & Technology Canada (ISTC). The approach involved interviews and discussions with a sample of key people drawn from universities, government research and regulatory agencies and the business community active in the microbial research and product development areas. Reference was made to published scientific papers and articles, in house information and industry data to determine the significance of pest, weed and disease problems and opportunities for inoculants.
