New release from Agrobase-Logigram:
Homologa , the Global Crop Protection Database of MRLs
and current product registrations
Homologa, database mondiale
per la protezione delle colture
Spotting risks in the food chain is a
daily challenge faced by growers, importers,
producers, retailers, laboratories and
regulators. It is a task made all the more
diffi cult by having to wade through endless
reports, other information sources
(often in foreign languages) and trying to
compare the results of this search crosscountry
just to fi nd the bits that might
apply to you.
The regulatory framework concerning the
occurrence of pesticide residues (MRLs)
is changing. The standardization of the
MRLs for EU members helps but there is
still the problem with registered versus
expired (last use/expire date) agrochemicals.
Sometimes no MRL exists but there
are still agrochemicals in use with this
active substance in the country.
Homologa is set to change all that.
Available for use in primary production
by product and regulatory managers,
researchers, laboratories and agricultural
consultants, and in the food industry by
retailers, food processors and food chain
managers, Homologa provides agronomic
information including the current
pesticide product approval status (expired
agrochemicals are also included) of over
Homologa allows you to have all the
information existing in various countries
on a particular product.
Homologa permette di avere tutte
le informazioni esistenti nei diversi Paesi
su un determinato prodotto.

fi ve dozen countries together
with the MRLs, to support
strategic business decisions
and ensure compliance within
the prevailing regulatory
frameworks.
Homologa facilitates the
access to regulatory data
and hence saves important
resources to its subscribers.
There are numerous examples
in which Homologa has
been used to resolve critical
problems. Subscribers can
search online for expired
and registered crop protection
products as well as their
associated MRLs in several
countries in a single report.
There is also the possibility
to receive alert e-mails when registrations
or MRLs change. In addition, the new
version of Homologa provides access to
product label information for many countries
and companies. The database can
also be used for the search of available
pest-solutions for Minor Uses.
The Homologa Team and its global
collaborators update constantly the database.
Today the mark of 7
000 000 lines of registration
data is passed and
will continue to increase
further.

L’identifi cazione dei rischi

d’informazione (spesso in lingua straniera) e

transnazionale fi no a trovare il tassello che
fa al caso in oggetto.
L’organismo di controllo deputato all’individuazione
dei residui di pesticidi (Mrls)
è variabile. La standardizzazione dell’Mrls
per i membri dell’Ue aiuta ma permane
il problema degli agrofarmaci registrati
rispetto a quelli revocati (data ultima di utilizzo).
Quando il Mrls non esisteva, c’erano
comunque gli agrofarmaci utilizzati con i
loro principi attivi nei diversi Paesi.
HomologaTM è destinato a cambiare lo
scenario. Disponibile per l’applicazione alle
produzioni primarie per i manager di prodotto
e dei controlli, i ricercatori, i laboratori
e i consulenti agronomici, e all’industria
alimentare per i rivenditori, gli operatori
alimentari e i gestori di fi liera, Homologa
