Chassieu, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amo\u00e9ba (FR0011051598 – ALMIB)<\/b>, industrial greentech specialized in the development of natural microbiological solutions, announces that it has obtained marketing authorization for its biofungicide AXPERA in France. This first authorisation, granted by ANSES following the evaluation conducted by France in its capacity as rapporteur Member State for European Union, now allows the other concerned Member States concerned to proceed with and finalise their national authorisation procedures in the coming weeks and months, according to each countrys specific timelines.<\/b><\/p>\n

This authorization, which is crucial for Amo\u00e9ba, marks the launch of the commercialization phase for AXPERA in partnership with Koppert, initially in France and then in the other European countries covered by the agreement once approvals have been granted by the relevant national authorities.<\/b><\/p>\n

An authorisation covering a wide range of uses in vineyards and vegetable crops <\/b><\/p>\n

AXPERA is approved by ANSES1<\/sup>as a fungicide<\/b> that acts by inhibiting the germination of fungal spores. The product is now approved for the following uses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The product is intended for preventive use; it can be used alone, as part of a treatment program, or in combination with other fungicides approved for use against the specific disease.<\/p>\n

Very favorable conditions of use<\/b><\/p>\n

AXPERA is approved as a low-risk product and can be used in both conventional and organic agriculture<\/b> in accordance with applicable regulations.<\/p>\n

The authorized application conditions of use contribute to the products appeal to farmers by combining protection, effectiveness, and ease of use.<\/b> In particular, they result in the shortest re-entry period2<\/sup> and pre-harvest interval3<\/sup>, as well as the shortest safety distances4<\/sup> granted by ANSES for a plant protection product.<\/p>\n

In addition, the active ingredient of AXPERA, the Lysate of Willaertia magna C2c Maky, is included on the list of active ingredients exempt from maximum residue limits (MRLs)<\/b>, offering a significant regulatory advantage: it facilitates the marketing of crops by eliminating the need for testing on treated foodstuffs.<\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, the AXPERA product is intended to be included on the French list of biocontrol products. This inclusion would offer several advantages<\/b>, in particular:<\/p>\n
