How to register phytosanitary products
Registration of new plant protection products will be for a period of 5 years, after which compliance with the requirements that determined their authorization and inclusion by ZERYA will be reviewed again and may be extended for another period of 5 years. To register plant protection products, the manufacturer must contact ZERYA in order to formalize the corresponding user license contract, which will detail the requirements that must be met for the use of the brand. Manufacturers of plant protection products may register all the products they wish. The definitive incorporation of the product into the authorized lists will take place after approval by ZERYA, where it will be verified that it complies with the requirements described within the following categories:
