The overall objectives of the BTSF Training Programme on PPP Evaluation: Risk assessment of efficacy of plant protection products are:

  • At the end of the Module 1 the trainees should be improved in his/her ability to evaluate realistic uses of a representative plant protection product using the available data and the principles of biological extrapolation.
  • At the end of the Module 2 the trainees should be improved in his/her knowledge on the latest EPPO standard PP1/296(1) Principles of efficacy harmonization of assessment of the potential risk of resistance development.

The course addresses the following topics:

Module 1- General principles of the efficacy evaluation of plant protection products in the framework of the Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, practical guidance and discussion on the efficacy evaluation of PPPs:

  • Introduction to the efficacy evaluation of plant protection products (PPPs).
  • Regulatory framework.
  • Principles of acceptable efficacy.
  • Zonal assessment of PPPs.
  • Minor uses and biological extrapolations.

Module 2- Harmonization among members state Principles of efficacy evaluation for low-risk plant protection products and related regulatory aspects.

  • Harmonized dose expression for the zonal evaluation of plant protection products.
  • Resistance risk analysis.
  • Biopesticides and low risk Plant Protection Products.
  • Official control activities.
