Agrochemical: Achieving Plant Protection Product registrations under EU Legislation

The European regulatory approvals process for agrochemical active substances and their products is complex, time-consuming and ever-changing. So, when your organisation is struggling with a heavy workload, navigating the approvals process adds an extra burden on your team’s time. Especially if they’re unfamiliar with the product regulation process – just one mistake or omission can add weeks or months to rectify.

However, as an LKC client, you’ll benefit from our technical expertise and regulatory knowledge (Regulation 1107/2009 being a key one), helping your products to be approved faster. We can then assist your entry and maintained presence in the EU’s agrochemical market, aided by our good relations with EU regulators, the EFSA, and other advisory organisations. LKC’s specialists will guide your team throughout the process.

Biological Substances in Agriculture

Naturally occurring biological active substances are a diverse group with minimal environmental impact. For that reason, their use in integrated pest management (IPM) and precision farming is being influenced by the European Green Deal. Working with LKC experts knowledgeable in agricultural, regulatory and innovative scientific areas is key for successful registrations of basic and low risk substances for efficient plant protection product development.

Now that the EU’s ‘Green Deal’ proposal is active, LKC is committed to helping you find sustainable solutions, such as plant biotechnology and biopesticides, to avoid biodiversity loss and assist with the EU’s ‘Farm to Fork’ strategies.
