There is a clear trend towards biological solutions for plant growth and pest control. However, it is important to note that the product’s function determines the regulatory process followed, not the origin or components of the product. Therefore, biological PPPs fall under 1107/2009 (with some modifications), and biological fertilizers and biostimulants will fall under 2019/1009.

At Agrolab, we have several Field and Regulatory Specialists with increased focus on biological products. We can provide expert advice on testing and registering your Biological products at both the EU and North Zone levels.

Agrolab has the knowledge and equipment for variety testing in cereals, legumes, oilseed rape and maize. Additionally, we offer post-harvest analysis in our Seed and Germination lab.

Please contact the Sales Team for more information.
