AIM UPDATE :
An important meeting was called by the INM Division recently at New Delhi under the Chairpersonship of Additional Secretary (AS), INM to address different issues related with Biostimulants. Major Associations working in this domain were invited. Secretary Sameer Pathare attended the meeting on behalf of AIM Association.
Following important points were discussed-
1. Extension to the validity of Form G ( Provisional Registration Certificate) was requested on the grounds that state governments are not issuing manufacturing or dealers licenses
2. It was also brought to the attention of the Chair that huge stocks are still pending unsold at dealers end and inventory is laying at the manufacturers end
3. It was requested to provide method of analysis of recently included Biostimulants in schedule VI
4. It was informed to the Associations that many incomplete Form G are being submitted by the manufacturers and that this must be brought to the notice of manufacturers
5. Around 29 more Biostimulants are expected to be added in the Schedule VI soon . It is expected that 4 AIM PRODUCTS will be cleared
6. Crop grouping concept was also discussed and it was requested to consider crop grouping in case of efficacy trials and allow usage of Biostimulant on all group crops if one of the crop is successfully evaluated by efficacy trials
Representative of Associations tried to convince AS( INM) about extension of Form G and she agreed to consider the request based on submission sought in this regards from the Associations. It was also stated that soon the method of analysis will be added in FCO 1985 .
We will keep you posted about further updates and are arranging a zoom meeting soon to discuss some important issues.
Thank you.
