Biological effectiveness of plant nutrition and agricultural pesticides input:
As for current requirements so as to obtain registrations of AGRICULTURAL PESTICIDES AND PLANT NUTRIENTS (except for fertilizers being comprised on inorganic mineral elements bases), study making to prove their biological effectiveness is required.
- Mexican Official Norm NOM-032-FITO-1995 , which establishes the necessary requirements and phytosanitary specifications to conduct biological effectiveness studies of agricultural pesticides and their corresponding reports.
- Mexican Official Norm NOM-077-FITO-2000 , which establishes the necessary requirements and specifications to conduct biological effectiveness studies of plant nutrition input.
Strict compliance with the latter regulations implies the development of 3 phases:
- Initiation Notice.
- Study Establishing / Verification.
- Technical Report Petition.
In these phases our services are:
- Quotation on recognized licensed investigators in this area.
- Support on crop - pest selection, founded on economic and effectiveness principles proposed by our customer.
- Support on study site selection.
- Protocol development, together with the investigator and our customer.
- Initiation notice submittal before the SAGARPA.
- Study development follow-up according to the protocol authorized by the SAGARPA.
- To hire and to coordinate the verifier's visit (NOM-032-FITO-1995).
- To revise the final study report to assure it fulfills the protocol, verification report and government officials' criteria.
- To develop labels based on study outcome and the corresponding labeling regulation.
- To solicit the biological effectiveness report before the SAGARPA.
The biological effectiveness study may be more than a simple official requirement. This can act as a factor to improve or to establish new promotion and image strategies of your registered products, thus, if customers solicit, AGROVANT also offers:
- To compile study information on CD or diskettes so that the company may further use it for other purposes.
- To coordinate with the investigator and the company's technical staff a discussion on technical experiences of the assessed product, gathered during study development.
