MustGrow Biologics Corp. is a biotechnology innovator focused on developing plant-based biological solutions that improve crop health and soil performance. Operating in North America’s agricultural market, the company’s goal is to provide growers with natural, science-backed alternatives to synthetic fertilizer and chemical treatments.
As sustainability, soil health, and regulatory scrutiny reshape global agriculture, MustGrow is positioning itself to capitalize on rising demand for biological crop protection products. In Canada, where canola is the country’s number one crop and contributes billions to the economy, protecting yield is directly tied to national food security and rural employment. Against this macro backdrop, MustGrow’s TerraMG is targeting one of Western Canada’s most pressing agronomic threats: clubroot disease.
TerraMG technology and biological differentiation
Unlike many crop protection peers that rely on synthetic chemistries, MustGrow focuses on plant-derived bioactive compounds. TerraMG is a natural biological product derived from mustard seed, explains Colin Bletsky, COO of MustGrow Biologics.
The technology leverages naturally occurring compounds known as isothiocyanates. Bletsky explains the process as “taking the compounds that mustard provides us — so, natural mustard that we eat — the compounds that create a product that’s called allyl isothiocyanate.” These compounds are recognized for their ability to suppress soil-borne pathogens, including clubroot.
This approach offers growers a biological tool designed to work within existing farming systems. By targeting soil disease at the root level, TerraMG aims to improve plant health while aligning with evolving environmental and regulatory standards.
Market opportunity in Canadian canola and soil health
With sustainability mandates and soil health priorities reshaping modern agriculture, MustGrow is strategically positioned to capture emerging demand in biological crop inputs. Clubroot continues to spread across Western Canada, beginning in northern Alberta and moving into Saskatchewan and Manitoba. As Bletsky notes, “Clubroot is a soil disease that impacts the root system of a canola plant.”
The economic stakes are significant. In Canada, canola supports more than 200,000 jobs and contributes billions annually to the economy. Yield losses from soil disease directly affect farm profitability and national output.
By focusing on disease suppression in canola and other crops, MustGrow aims to provide investors with exposure to the growing biologicals segment of agriculture. The company is targeting a niche where growers require effective solutions that are compatible with modern sustainability frameworks and regulatory expectations.
Field trials, regulatory progress, and growth plans
Recent milestones include successful Canadian field trials demonstrating suppression of clubroot and healthier root systems in treated canola crops. These real-world results support TerraMG’s transition from development to potential regulatory approval.
The company is actively advancing registration efforts. Bletsky states, “We are currently working towards registration of TerraMG through Health Canada and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.” The product is being positioned for use in canola, pulse crops, and potatoes.
Looking ahead, MustGrow expects regulatory headway that could enable commercial availability in Canada. Bletsky adds, “We’re hopeful that this year or early next year, that we will have made some headway and have this product registered and ready for Canadian use.” Regulatory clearance would mark a critical step toward broader commercialization and revenue growth.
As MustGrow advances TerraMG through regulatory approval, it stands at the intersection of agricultural sustainability and crop protection demand. With clubroot spreading and biological solutions gaining traction, the company is targeting a defined market need in Canada’s most important crop.

Colin Bletsky
One of the main challenges right across the West that really has started in northern Alberta and is spreading through Saskatchewan and Manitoba would be clubroot. So, clubroot is a soil disease that impacts the root system of a canola plant.
In Canada, canola is the number one crop. It creates — there’s well over 200,000 jobs attributed to canola — it’s creating billions into the economy. We wanted to make sure that we had something there for farmers to be able to utilize to help bring that crop to fruition and help that crop survive.
So, TerraMG is a natural biological product that is organic and it comes from mustard seed. Essentially what it is — taking the compounds that mustard provides us — so, natural mustard that we eat, the compounds that create a product that’s called allyl isothiocyanate. So, isothiocyanates, which are known to have very good control suppression of things like clubroot.
We are currently working towards registration of TerraMG through Health Canada and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, and that is for use in canola, that’s for use in some other crops, pulse crops, as well as potatoes. We’re hopeful that this year or early next year, that we will have made some headway and have this product registered and ready for Canadian use.
