Eden Research said on Wednesday that it has secured regulatory approval in France to extend the label for its Mevalone biopesticide for use on grapes to control downy and powdery mildew, opening up a significant new commercial opportunity in one of the world’s largest vineyard markets.
The AIM-traded biopesticide group said French authorities had approved Mevalone for use on grapes, subject to customary restrictions.
It said France has more than 780,000 hectares of vines and is among the countries most affected by downy mildew, with recent severe outbreaks in 2023 and 2024 cutting harvests in Bordeaux and other regions by up to a fifth or more.
Eden Research said the approval came as structural changes reshaped the French crop protection market.
