Plant Protection

have been used for decades to help grow the food needed for mankind to survive and prosper. Although the centre of controversy for a long time, the associated risks to human health and/or to the environment are accepted by society within certain limits as there are also benefits linked to their use: without these products many crops would be destroyed by pests and weeds.

The regulations surrounding the use of these products are very stringent as they are used on the food we eat and often used close to the environments we want to protect.
