According to Oxford-based sustainable biopesticide firm Eden Research, its flagship biofungicide, Mevalone, has obtained regulatory authorization in Poland. This will mean farmers in Poland can apply the product to wine and table grapes to protect and treat outbreaks of Botrytris cinerea and to apples to prevent post-harvest storage diseases.
As the EU’s largest producer of apples, Poland represents a significant market for Eden Research and Mevalone. Eden expects to receive additional regulatory approvals in due course in additional Central European member states such as Germany, Austria, and Hungary, where high levels of wine production are found.
