Posted by Dan Jacobs|14 January 2016

Eden Research‘s first agrochemical product, 3AEY, has been approved for commercial sale and use in Bulgaria, one of the top 20 wine producing countries globally.

Eden uses natural microencapsulation technologies to deliver the fungicide that primarily targets botrytis on grapes. The Bulgarian approval follows several years’ worth of product efficacy trials were conducted in order to generate the data required to support the label claims of botrytis prevention and control in table and wine grapes.

“Authorization of 3AEY in Bulgaria is an important additional milestone for Eden and its regional commercialization partner, Redestos,” said Eden Chief Executive, Sean Smith. “This is now the third of seven countries in the Southern EU zone to grant its approval for the sale and use of our first product. Though outside of our control, we continue to anticipate authorisation in the remaining member states in due course, and in time for this year’s growing season. Our partners are already preparing for official commercial product launches in 2016 across the region.”

3AEY had already been approved in Malta and Greece.
