The Phosphite Biostimulant Stewardship Group (PBSG) was created by a group of like-minded biostimulant manufacturers. Our aim is to persuade the European regulators to allow the continued use of phosphite as a biostimulant, enabling subsequent EU registration under biostimulant regulations.
Phosphite has been used as a biostimulant for many years. It is a well-established, cost effective, proven technology used by farmers across Europe on a wide range of crops. The PBSG is collaborating with the University of Nottingham and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to research the mode of action of phosphite as a biostimulant.
The new EC fertilising product regulation EC 2019/1009, which will apply in full in 2022, is groundbreaking for our industry in that it includes Biostimulants. However, during the procedure that led to the approval of the regulation, phosphite was specifically excluded from the possible components of fertilisers. We accept the position that phosphite has no direct nutritional value and that it is registered as an active ingredient under EC1107/2009 for plant protection products. However, as a substance with dual use potential in separate fertilising and plant protection products, it is not unique and should therefore not be excluded.
Our position is that phosphite has a scientifically proven mode of action and has been demonstrated over many years to be an effective biostimulant with an important agronomic input across a wide range of crops in European countries. Phosphite is now one of the most researched and consistently performing biostimulants on the market today and should continue to be accessible to growers in the future.
The PBSG is funded by its members and focuses on generating and communicating scientific evidence of phosphite’s efficacy as a biostimulant to retain its use for the benefit of European farmers.
