Form to register as a user of professional PPPs and adjuvants

UK law now dictates that any organisation that is using or applying professional plant protection products (PPPs) or adjuvants must register with DEFRA prior to 22 June.

Specific legislation has been introduced, called the Official Controls (Plant Protection Products) Regulations 2020, which enables regulatory authorities to support compliance and enforce legal requirements that apply to the placing on the market and use of PPPs throughout the supply chain.

PPPs are known generically as pesticides and include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, molluscicides and plant growth regulators. They can exist in many forms, such as solid granules, powders or liquids and consist of one or more active substances co-formulated with other materials to provide the control of target organisations.
