Agrochemicals and Biopesticides

Since 1989, the Agrochemicals and Biopesticides Department has submitted numerous dossiers e.g. according to Commission Directive 91/414/EEC, along with many applications for national registration in EU member states. Our experience is your advantage, especially in the transition process to the new dRR format which is binding since October 2010, and the zonal application system according to Regulation 1107/2009 for plant protection products.

Our experts are familiar with all types of conventional and biological pesticides (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, molluscicides, PGRs, plant extracts, biological control agents and inorganics, storage and mixture products, etc.) and other agrochemicals such as fertilizers for professional and amateur use.

Changes in the agricultural sector are reflected by recent agricultural legislation in the European Union, such as Regulation 1107/2009. In accordance with the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the Sustainable Use Directive (2009/128/EC) established a framework for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as well as for the future use of agrochemicals and biopesticides. Other EU priority areas including water management and use, rural development or organic farming, diversify the requirements for registration of agrochemicals and biopesticides even further.

The SCC Agrochemicals and Biopesticides Department considers current and future regulatory and legislative needs and developments in the common agricultural policy of the EU and stays up-to-date on the latest scientific research data. For this reason, the Agrochemicals and Biopesticides Department is at the forefront in strategic planning and defence, negotiations with authorities, or task force leadership.

Our motivated professiona lstaff serves you with the same degree of dedication regardless if your corporate structure is a small- or medium-sized enterprise, or a multinational company.
