New QR Code Mandate for Biostimulants by Ministry of Agriculture

New QR Code Mandate for Biostimulants

All biostimulant items supplied on the market must have a QR code written on their labels, per a directive from the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. A recent notification (No. 3-7/2025-Biostimulants (167640)) outlines this new step, which attempts to improve the product’s authenticity and transparency while making sure they adhere to the guidelines established by the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO), 1985.

New QR Code Mandate for Biostimulants: What the QR Code Will Contain

Farmers and distributors may easily confirm the product’s details by scanning the QR code, which will display important information in Hindi, English, or a regional language. When the code is scanned, it will show:

  • The product’s formal approval: It is linked to the Gazette Notification Number and Date.
  • Product Name and Biostimulant Title: The product is clearly identified.
  • Composition: An explanation of the components that make up the product.
  • Crops: The particular crops that the biostimulant is advised for.
  • Dosage: The recommended rate of application.

New QR Code Mandate for Biostimulants helps farmers trust in the products they use. This initiative is a major step in the fight against the selling of unreliable or fake agricultural supplies. The government is enabling farmers to make informed decisions and protect their crops by providing easy access to essential product information.
