Transcription

1 Report for the period 2005 to 2007 Heidrun Vogt Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) - Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants Institute for Plant Protection in Fruit Crops and Viticulture, Dossenheim, Germany

2 Objectives Develop and establish test methods and guidelines 2000

3 Objectives Elaborate and publish data on side-effects of pesticides on benefials Support IPM by identifying suitable Plant Protection Products (PPPs) and their use to preserve beneficial organisms Exchange experience and knowledge and foster the use of selective PPPs 2000

4 Schonung: Selektive Pflanzenschutzmittel ( = Toolbox: Selectivity of pesticides); includes 180 active substances

5 Meetings Year Locality, Country 2005 Dębe Poland 2007 Berlin Germany Host Participants / IOBC members (Countries) Res. Inst. of Pomology & Florticulture, Skierniewice, Prof. Dr. R. Olszak Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI), Fed. Res. Centre for Cultivated Plants, Inst. for Ecol. Chemistry, Plant Analysis & Stored Product Protection, Dr. Barbara Baier Presen -tations 50 / 20 (14) / 25 (15) 29

6 Topics of the meetings - methodical aspects of laboratory, semi-field and field tests - effects of plant protection products (ppp`s) and biocontrol agents (entomopathogenic fungi andf nematodes) on beneficials in diverse crops (initial and sublethal) - comparison of sensitivity of beneficial species to ppp s - questions about IPM and how to improve it - establishment of crop specific selectivity lists - regulatory issues

7 Discussion points and further objectives - interpretation and importance of side-effect results in the field; - sublethal effects and their importance on population level of the beneficials; - effects of pesticides with special mode of action (e.g. IGRs); systemic pesticides may need adoption of methods and prolongation of the observation period, more data about their persistence needed; - effects of pesticides in protected crops; - extrapolation of data between species; - more guidance in field methods needed, especially especially sampling techniques

8 Guideline development Extended laboratory test with Aphidius rhopalosiphi Mead-Briggs, M.A. (2008). The extended laboratory test for Aphidius rhopalosiphi: some continued areas of debate for the methodology. IOBC/wprs Bulletin 35, Mead-Briggs, M.A., M. Moll, Ch. Grimm, M. Schuld, A. Ufer, A. & H. Walker (submitted 2009): An extended laboratory test for evaluating the effects of plant protection products on the parasitic wasp, Aphidius rhopalosiphi (De Stefani-Perez) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae). Submitted to BioControl.

10 Berlin meeting 2007 Election of New Convenor Jean-Pierre Jansen Heidrun Vogt Barbara Baier

11 IOBC / wprs OILB / srop IOBC Working Group Pesticide and Beneficial Organisms JP Jansen

12 New convenor & meeting H. Vogt JP Jansen Meeting in Dubrovnik (7-9 Oct 2009) Local organiser B. Baric, University of Zagreb 50 participants planned, 15 countries 28 oral communications (no poster session)

13 Topics Results with classical methods and pesticides New compounds with specific mode of action development of new methods 5 communications/28 on honeybees and bumblebees Need to open the group to side effects on pollinators?

14 Special session IPM implementation and pesticide sideeffects database Need to Update the existing IOBC database New records in IOBC bulletin + other publication (e.g. registration file if public information available?) Transfer of the information to a larger public than scientific (e. g. IOBC web site?) Stimulate the members to generate important missing data Stimulate collaboration with other related database?

15 ESCORT III * Planned for September 09 October 2010 Revision of ESCORT I and II IOBC methods but gap between IPM Non target Organisms for registration Mostly focus on off-crop Need for collaboration with Landscape Management for functional biodiversity WG Recovery of beneficials after harmful pesticide applications seems to be the future key for registration * SETAC Europe Workshop on Advances in the Regulatory Testing and Risk Assessment Procedures for Plant Protection Products with Non-Target Arthropods. Date of Workshop: End of April ESCORT: European Standard Characteristics of Non-Target Regulatory Testing
