# Bio-pesticide registration
 Bio-pesticides based on microbes or plant extracts are registered by CIB&RC against their own data requirements. We build dossiers that meet them from the start.

 **In short:** Bio-pesticides are registered with CIB&RC under the Insecticides Act, 1968 in the same manner as chemical pesticides, but against data on strain identity, colony count and viability, contaminant absence, safety, shelf life and bio-efficacy. Products that make a pest-control claim are bio-pesticides; products that only improve plant growth fall under the Fertiliser (Control) Order.

## What makes bio-pesticide files different?
 For microbial products the Committee looks at the exact strain, the absence of contaminants and pathogens, and whether the viable count holds over shelf life. For botanicals, it looks at the source plant and the marker compound. In both cases, efficacy data must match the crop and pest on the label.

## Where do applications stall?
 
- Strain identity documented only morphologically
- Shelf-life data that does not support the claimed period
- Label claims broader than the efficacy data For a detailed breakdown, see bio-pesticide registration at cibconsultant.com .

## Which documents are needed?
 
- Strain or plant source identification 
- Manufacturing process and specification 
- Shelf-life study 
- Bio-efficacy data 
- Safety data 
- Label and packaging drafts The exact list depends on your product and business; we confirm it before filing.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: What is the difference between a bio-pesticide and a bio-stimulant?**
 A bio-pesticide claims to control a pest, disease or weed and is registered with CIB&RC. A bio-stimulant improves plant physiological processes without a pest-control claim and is regulated under the Fertiliser (Control) Order.

**Q: Can an imported bio-pesticide be registered?**
 Yes, through an Indian applicant with source verification and the overseas manufacturer's documentation, usually supplemented to meet Indian expectations.
