In the MPS-MIND environmental indicator system, the properties and use of agents are regularly reassessed based on scientific sources.
In recent months, the agents Menno Florades and Intra Multi-Des GA have been reclassified. These agents are used as cleaning agents and are permitted in MPS-ABC. Therefore, they will from now on be classified as white, meaning that they will no longer affect your qualification.
You can see the new situation in the second table below. This new categorisation takes effect as of period 5, 2025 (21 April). From period 5, 2025 (21 April) onwards, the new colours for each environmental zone (EZ) in which the active substance is used will be visible when you log in to the record-keeping environment.
Environmental zones
The overview of environmental zones indicates which zone is associated with your business or location in each period. The environmental zones are relevant because location factors influence the environmental risk potential when using crop protection agents. For more information on the environmental zones, check the MPS-MIND Information Document.
