Welcome to a new update about the fertiliser and biostimulant legislations!
This week, we talk about the plant biostimulant & fertiliser legislations and registration procedures in Botswana! 🇧🇼
Here you’ll find the beginning of the update here and give you an overview of what other information we talk about afterwards.
Then, you'll find the link to the update. :)
"The Botswanian legislation does not mention “plant biostimulants” as such, they are rather covered under the wider term of agrochemicals. These, according to key legislation “Agrochemicals Act (Chapter 35:09), are defined as such: ”agrochemical" means any organic, inorganic or live biological material intended or offered for sale for purposes of-_ _(a) destruction, control, repulsion, attraction or prevention of any undesirable life forms injurious to plant and animal growth; or_ _(b) promotion or inhibition of plant growth such as fertilisers, growth regulators, hormones, defoliants or legume inoculants”._
So, biostimulants would have to fall either under growth regulators, inoculants or fertilisers…”.
The update then continues on with :

- What you need to do first when wanting to place your product
- Your registration and obtaining a license
