Marrone Bio Innovations 是一家为农业、草坪、观赏植物和水处理市场提供基于生物的害虫防治和植物健康产品的供应商，该公司宣布其 Grandevo 生物杀虫剂已获得欧盟委员会的完整性认定，现在可以开始评估附件 1 清单和在欧盟的商业化。
欧盟委员会、欧洲食品安全局和欧盟成员国工作组于 6 月 25 日做出的一项政策决定允许 Grandevo，一种仅含有非活性成分的创新生物农药 亚松色杆菌 cells, to be evaluated as a microbial pesticide. Until this recent EU decision, only pesticides containing live microbes could be evaluated under EU regulation. Grandevo is the first ever bioinsecticide formulated as a non-viable microbial “end product” to be accepted for review as a microbial pesticide by EU regulators and to receive a favorable completeness check decision.
Grandevo is being assessed under the Netherlands Government’s “Green Deal” Initiative, which has been created with an aim to “speed up the sustainability of PPPs (plant protection products) in agriculture and horticulture by facilitating the authorization of green PPPs with a low risk for humans, animals and the environment,” according to ctgb (Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides).
MBI 认为，最近在欧洲完成的功效试验将用于支持 Grandevo 在控制粉虱和蓟马方面的潜在用途 茄科 （番茄、胡椒和茄子）和 葫芦科 （甜瓜、黄瓜和南瓜）作物。
Keith Pitts, MBI’s VP of Regulatory and Government Affairs said, “Receiving this completeness determination for Grandevo from the Netherlands is an important step in making the potential benefits of new biopesticide products available to growers throughout the EU. The Netherlands’ Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides (Ctgb), the European Commission Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG-SANTE) and the International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association were instrumental in supporting Marrone Bio Innovations to achieve this completeness determination. MBI looks forward to working with Ctgb and other EU regulatory agencies on the next steps in the evaluation and potential registration process of Grandevo in Europe.”
