Plant protection products

We have thorough experience with European registration procedures of crop protection products and active substances

Registration in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 is obligatory for bringing a new crop protection product on the market. Linge Agroconsultancy guides you through the entire registration process. Our extensive network of direct contacts within governing authorities, contract research organisations, universities and institutes enables us to assist our clients with the registration procedures with maximum efficiency. Our experience ranges from chemical products to (micro)biological products.
Linge Agroconsultancy is an evaluator for the competent authority in the Netherlands. Through regular meetings with the European authorities and by attending relevant workshops (such as given by EPPO), we keep informed of the European legislation.

We also have experience with the preparation of various low risk plant protection dossiers. A low risk product will often require a different approach, with more focus on the mode of action of the active substance and non-standard extrapolations. Trial results with low risk products often ask for a different interpretation and should be presented so that the real benefit of the product is clear.
