Non-formal consultation on Polyhalite

The purpose of this non-formal consultation was to invite the views of stakeholders on an amending regulation which adds ‘Polyhalite’, a crude salt of potassium, to Schedule 1 of The Fertilisers Regulations 1991.

In practice this makes Polyhalite a product prescribed under Schedule 1 of The Regulations. This technical addition introduces standards for the description, meaning, declared nutrient content and limits of variation for Polyhalite when it is sold as a fertiliser.

Defra sought views of all stakeholders who will be affected by these amending Regulations.
