Control Agents

Pesticides are:

• plant protection products, used on plants and crops;
• biocides, agents against bacteria, fungi or rats.

Chemical soil disinfection

Sometimes it is necessary to disinfect soil to control plant diseases. This is how you keep agricultural and horticultural land in good condition. Are you going to chemically decontaminate the soil? Then report this chemical soil disinfection to the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).

Use of pesticides

The Board for the Authorisation of Plant Protection Products and Biocides (Ctgb) assesses whether plant protection products and biocides are safe. On ctgb.nl you can find more information on the sustainable use of these products.
