Crop Protection Classification

Labels are registered, not compounds! This golden rule is often overlooked, when strategies for registration of plant protection products are developed. Two components contribute to a good label for a new active ingredient: marketing aspects and registration strategy. To optimize sales, label recommendations should be as wide as possible. In this case, however, the registration may be difficult, time consuming and expensive. The opposite is true for a special use "narrow" label. The registration may be easy, but the market value is small.
In Europe environmental aspects are increasingly driving the evaluation process for a new plant protection product. Potential problems associated with persistence, leaching, or environmental toxicity may be overcome with a suitable label recommendation that restricts the use in certain areas or during critical times.
LKC Switzerland Ltd can develop a good label strategy, which finds a compromise between economics and registration requirements to allow fast registration and a smooth entrance into the market at an affordable cost.
