Argentina creates a specific route for authorizing drone application of registered crop-protection products
Argentina's SENASA Resolution 869/2026 took effect on 25 September and creates an administrative procedure for authorizing registered plant-protection products in new application methods. Its annex includes a specific process for applications using unmanned aerial vehicles, with requests routed through competent provincial authorities.

Agricultural-drone deployment is often constrained not by the aircraft but by whether a product is legally approved for aerial application. The new procedure gives that mismatch a defined administrative route.
Operators should not read the resolution as blanket approval for drone spraying. Each authorization remains conditional and product-, crop-, pest- and method-specific, with other operating rules still applying.
