Fertilising products with effects as plant protection products
Fertilising products containing certain active substances need approval as plant protection products.
Fertilising products containing active substances listed in Regulation (EU) 540/2011 (EURLEX (eur-lex.europa.eu)) will usually be plant protection products and therefore need approval as plant protection products.
If you market an active substance as a fertiliser or use it as an ingredient in a fertiliser without approving the product as a plant protection product, you must be prepared to document that the active substance does not have a plant protection effect at the recommended dosage of the product. Fertilising products cannot be marketed with direct or preventive effects against plant pests without being approved as plant protection products.
