A number of active substances (components of crop protection agents) have recently been reassessed.

In the environmental indicator system, active substances are categorised as ‘white’, ‘green’, ‘amber’ and ‘red’. As a result of the reassessment, the categories of some active substances may have changed due to the availability of more up-to-date information. If you use any of these active substances, their new classification could affect the number of qualification points you receive.

The following six substances that are currently classed as ‘amber’ have been reassessed. The new categories take effect as of 3 January 2022 (Period 1, 2022).
