A few days ago, we reached one of the most significant milestones since the founding of Lithos Crop Protect: The peer review report of the active substance 8-methyldecan-2-yl propanoate, was successfully approved and published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
This brings us a major step closer to the EU approval and to making our innovative, pheromone-based crop protection solution available to farmers across Europe. The approval of a new active substance in the EU is a complex, highly demanding process, but also rare, particularly for pheromone-based solutions, which makes this achievement even more meaningful for our company.
We would like to use this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to the entire Lithos Crop Protect team and everyone who contributed to this process. Without your commitment, expertise and perseverance this milestone would not have been possible. We are incredibly proud of how far we have come and we look forward to taking the next steps together.
