Eden Research and Corteva Agriscience Announce Ecovelex(TM)2023
Approval in Italy
The innovative seed treatment helps farmers safely repel
birds
Cremona, Italy and Abingdon, UK - December 18, 2023 - Corteva
Agriscience and Eden Research are pleased to announce that
Ecovelex(TM) 2023 has been granted, according to Reg. EU/1107/2009,
a temporary approval in Italy for use as a bird repellent seed
treatment in corn for the 2024 growing season. Eden is an AIM
listed company that develops and supplies sustainable solutions for
crop protection, animal health and consumer products.
Developed by Corteva and Eden, Ecovelex represents a new entrant
into the seed treatment market and is an alternative to
conventional chemicals that are not approved in the EU and UK. It
was developed to safely tackle crop destruction caused by birds - a
major cause of losses in maize and other crops.
Ecovelex works by creating an unpleasant taste or odour that
repels birds, leaving the seeds safely intact and the birds
unaffected and free to find alternative food sources.
The product is based on Eden's plant-derived chemistry,
registered in the EU, U.S. and elsewhere, and formulated using
Eden's Sustaine(R) microencapsulation system. It is designed to
support farmers as they strive to meet consumer and regulatory
demands for more sustainable agriculture.
Leonardo Costa, EMEA Seed Applied Technologies Leader at Corteva
Agriscience, said, "We are pleased to announce that farmers in
Italy will have the opportunity to use maize seed that has been
treated with Ecovelex to help control the damage frequently caused
by birds. Ecovelex is a safe, effective and sustainable alternative
to conventional crop protection products. Every year, farmers face
heavy losses caused by birds, and recent regulatory changes have
meant that the conventional approaches to combating crop damage are
no longer available.
"This represents a huge step forward in sustainable plant
chemistry. Eden's team has done an excellent job of helping us
tackle one of the tremendous challenges faced by today's farmers,
and we look forward to expanding upon this work in the future."
Sean Smith, Eden CEO, said, "Eden's collaboration with Corteva
Agriscience over the past several years has been highly productive,
and I am pleased to see the first real-world benefits from these
activities supporting farmers' requirements in Italy.
"Together, we are bringing another safe and effective product to
market in near record time through efficient, open collaboration.
This is ultimately a win for farmers who will have a new, effective
tool for improving crop yields, safely and sustainably."
Eden has submitted the regulatory dossier and application to
Austria, which will act as the interzonal rapporteur member state
on behalf of the EU. Review and authorisation can take between 18
and 24 months, with each EU member state then able to ratify the
authorisation or require additional information before granting
local authorisations.
