ADAMA?announced on April 2?that its novel in-licensed active ingredient, Feralla?, has been approved in the European Union?(EU). At its March 2025 meeting, the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) approved Feralla??as a low-risk active substance. This approval marks a key milestone toward the launch of Feralla?-based products in the EU.

As European farmers navigate the challenge of balancing effective pest control with strict regulatory demands, the approval of Feralla??brings ADAMA a step closer to delivering high-performance mollusc control solutions that support green and sustainable farming while meeting regulatory standards and consumer expectations.
