Welcome to a new update about the fertiliser and biostimulant legislations!
We continue our now international updates this time through South America with Peru's biostimulant legislations and registration procedures.
Here's the beginning of the update to get your mouth watering for the full text on our page ;) :
"In Peru, biostimulants and soil conditioners can be made of a wide wide variety of materials, depending on their intended use in agriculture. They may include, for instance, organic materials (such as compost, manure, or plant extracts), inorganic compounds (such as minerals or chemical additives), microbial products (beneficial bacteria or fungi), other additives.
In June 2023 the Peruvian authorities published a draft regulation on fertilisers and related substances (sustancias afines), which encompass plant biostimulants and soil conditioners. These products are intended to stimulate natural processes to enhance nutrient uptake, efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality, without being classified as fertilizers or pesticides. "
The update then continues on with :
- Listing what biostimulants may contain under their regulations,
- To which authority you need it registered and
- What information they will require from you in your registration application dossier.
- And lastly, we also note that there is a specific requirement to be met for biostimulants containing seaweed.
