Surround WP crop protectant is not registered in Canada. Engelhard
Corporation is attempting to get Surround WP approved in Canada as rapidly
as possible.

If you are interested, here are two responsible people that you can write
to if you wish to support a more rapid approval process for Surround WP use
in Canada. It is helpful to the person you write to explain why you need
such a product: your organic/sustainable growing practices, need for
effective products, etc.

Surround WP is actually still in a "pre-registration" process. Surround WP
is being subject to rigorous Canadian multi-year registration standards and
procedures that we believe are not appropriate for a product with the
safety profile and proven performance in the USA.

Surround WP was approved for use in the US in 2000 and an earlier product
with the same active ingredient has been used since 1999. Over 100,000
hectare-treatments (250,000 acre-treatments) have already been applied in
the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Chile.
