The Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985's Schedule VI formally includes biostimulant compounds, according to a recent gazette notice, SO No 3922 (E), dated 12.09.2024. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare issued a significant new regulation on 11.03.2025 for Biostimulants. This seemingly technical development has important implications for these agricultural aids, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
The Key Change:
Previously, the selling of biostimulants did not require state-level authorization. However, after their inclusion in Schedule VI, these compounds are now regarded similarly to regular fertilizers. This implies that, under Clauses 7/8 of the Fertilizer Control Order of 1985, everyone involved in the sale of bio-stimulants must now get a mandatory authorization letter from the appropriate state government.
What are the consequences?
Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Retailers
To lawfully market biostimulants, you must first get an authorization letter from your state government. To ensure product validity and quality, make sure your suppliers are authorized to sell biostimulants.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has instructed that all State and Union Territory (UT) administrations implement these measures immediately. This effort intends to regulate the bio-stimulant business, assuring quality control and safeguarding farmers' rights. The state government is asked to take appropriate action.
