Globachem, who manufacture many Belchim products, have also obtained new MAPP numbers for some of their products that are marketed by Certis Belchim BV.
• UPL have a new metconazole product – Remocco 90 – that has been promoted to a full entry since it has been advertised in their recent e-mails to users.
