The State Plant Protection Service announces the registration of fertilizers and the cancellation of certificates

In the official publication of the Republic of Latvia, Latvijas Vēstnesis, on October 5, 2026, in issue No. 191, a notice from the State Plant Protection Service titled “On the registration of fertilizers and substrates and the annulment of registration certificates” was published. The notice is placed in the official notices section under INSTITUTIONS and is numbered as item 2. With this publication, the service informs about decisions regarding the register of fertilizers and substrates and the validity of issued registration certificates.

The publishing body is the State Plant Protection Service, which is the responsible state institution in the field of plant protection, plant variety, and agricultural resource supervision. The official reference for the notice is OP 2026/191, and it was published in the October 5, 2026 issue. The publication is part of a regular set of official notices concerning institutional decisions.

Subject of the Notice

The title of the notice indicates two interrelated actions: the registration of fertilizers and substrates and the annulment of registration certificates. Both actions refer to the same register, in which fertilizers and substrates placed on the market are listed.

Registration means the inclusion of a product in the official register, while the annulment of a registration certificate means that a previously issued permit is no longer valid. Both types of decisions are announced in a single publication, allowing market participants to find information in one place regarding both newly registered products and the status of products whose certificates are being annulled.

Where and How the Notice Was Published

The notice is found in the content section of the issue under the heading State Plant Protection Service, in the INSTITUTIONS section. It is the second numbered entry in this issue and is accompanied by the note “Information from the State Plant Protection Service.”

The official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis is the official gazette of the Republic of Latvia, where normative acts, institutional decisions, and official notices are published. Publication in the official gazette is the means by which an institutional decision is made known to the public and interested parties.

Repeated Notice

A notice with the same title in the form of information from the State Plant Protection Service was already published on September 3, 2026, in issue No. 169, with the official reference OP 2026/169, where it was numbered as item 5. This indicates that decisions on registration and the annulment of certificates are announced regularly, rather than as one-off events.

In both cases, the notice was placed in the same INSTITUTIONS section and originates from the same institution. Regular publication means that changes to the register are a continuous process reflected in the official publication.

Why This Is Important

The registration of fertilizers and substrates and the cancellation of registration certificates directly affect which products are legally available on the market. For farmers and producers, these decisions determine which products they may work with and which products are removed from circulation.

A cancelled registration certificate may mean that a specific product is no longer available or can no longer be used for its intended purpose. Therefore, the official publication is the primary source where market participants can verify the compliance of their product range with the current state of the register.
