The Coordinated Health Registry (RSCO) is used in many countries to regulate and oversee the safety and quality of agricultural products, food, and other health-related products. Obtaining a registration number in the RSCO means that a product has been evaluated and complies with the safety and quality standards set by health authorities.
This registration is mandatory for companies as it allows them to legally market their products, demonstrating compliance with the required health and safety regulations. It also provides consumers with the confidence that the products they purchase meet certain standards of quality and safety.
In México, COFEPRIS (Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks) is the entity responsible for the regulation and supervision of health and sanitary safety-related products, including food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, agricultural products, and others. Obtaining a registration number in COFEPRIS’s RSCO implies that the product has met the requirements and regulations of this entity regarding quality and safety.
Yanett Gallegos, Director of Research, Development, and Processes, answers some questions about this registration:
What does a product need to meet to obtain this registration?
Positive technical opinions on biological effectiveness issued by SENASICA under the criteria of the Official Mexican Standard NOM-032-SAG/FITO-2014, studies on composition and stability, toxicological and ecotoxicological studies.
What is XILO-NEMAX®, and how does it work?
XILO-NEMAX® is an innovative biological nematicide based on secondary metabolites from the fermentation of Streptomyces spp. BB016 for nematode control, primarily acting through direct contact and ingestion on nematodes in the soil. Once inside plant tissue, the metabolites produced by BB016 move in a translaminar manner, quickly paralyzing nematodes due to the inhibition of nerve signal transmission in the parasites’ connections. The components of XILO-NEMAX® alter membrane permeability, causing an imbalance in the nematode’s internal metabolism. Visible activity, such as feeding or egg-laying, stops quickly after exposure. Additionally, XILO-NEMAX® contains proteolytic enzymes in its composition for the degradation of spherical females. It can be included in an integrated pest management program. XILO-NEMAX® has a broad spectrum of action against major phytopathogenic nematodes, including Meloidogyne spp, Nacobbus spp, Helicotylenchus spp, Criconemoides spp, Rotylenchulus spp, and other agriculturally significant nematodes.
