Regulation (EC) No 396/2005

The plant protection product store must comply with basic rules to ensure

safe storage and use.

1. With facilities for measuring and mixing,

e.g. scale and table

2. PPPs must be in their original containers

3. Store must be well lit, (natural and/or artificial light),

well ventilated , seperated from other products( not for use GG crops)

4. Shelving must be made of non-absorbent materials

5. It must be able to retain liquids, e.g. bunding at the door The plant

protection product storage facilities have retaining tanks or products are

bunded according to 110% of the volume of the largest container of stored

liquid, to ensure that there cannot be any leakage, seepage or

contamination to the exterior of the facility.

CB 7.7

The plant protection product store must comply with basic rules to ensure safe storage and use.

6. There must be elements in place to deal with spillage,

e.g. bucket with sand, with scoop The plant protection

product storage facilities and all designated fixed

filling/mixing areas are equipped with a container

of absorbent inert material such as sand, floor brush

and dustpan and plastic bags that must be in a fixed

location to be used exclusively in case of spillage of

plant protection products

7. PPPs must be stored according to regulations (e.g. South Africa

legislation dictates that red labeled products must be kept separate from

other crop protection products)

CB 7.7

1. The keys and access to the plant protection product storage facility

limited to workers with formal training in the handling of plant

protection products.

2. All the plant protection products that are liquid formulations are

stored on shelving that is never above those products that are powder

or granular formulations.

3. An up-to-date plant protection product stock inventory or calculation

of stock with incoming PPPs and records of use available.

4. All plant protection product/chemical storage facilities and all

filling/mixing areas present on the farm have eye washing amenities,

a source of clean water at a distance no farther than 10 meters, and

a first aid kit containing the relevant aid material (e.g. a pesticide first

aid kit might need aid material for corrosive chemicals or alkaline

liquid in case of swallowing, and might not need bandages and

splints), all of which are clearly and permanently marked via signage.

CB 7.8 Plant protection product handling

1. The producers give all workers who come into contact

with plant protection products the option of being voluntarily

submitted to health checks annually; CB 7.8

2. mixing plant protection products procedures must be

followed as stated on the label;

safe transportation of crop protection products must be ensured;

3. re-entry times on the site where applications have taken place

must be observed.

CB 8 Plant protection product equipment is stored in such a way as to

prevent product contamination, and it is calibrated and maintained

regularly


Plant protection product application


Important to know:

• PPP registration scheme in country,

• Correct sampling procedures, - accredited laboratory

screening method with no less as 200 active ingredient (usually

~600, and should be included all used substances)

• Using of active substance - for countries where harvested

product is intended to be traded,







Important to know:

• The laboratory used for residue testing is accredited by a

competent national authority to ISO 17025 or equivalent

standard.

• Record keeping of PPP use (date, crop, area and

field name, PPP trade name and active substance, dosage,

used amount, operator, method and equipment, approvement

of use, weather conditions, PHI, Reason

• Take in account for record keeping the quality and

handling of Plant Propogation Material

Strategy based on ecosystems, which focuses on the long-term

prevention of pests or the damage caused by them through a

combination of techniques, such as

biological control,

habitat manipulation,

change in cultural practices and

use of resistant varieties.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) involves the careful consideration of

all available pest control techniques and the subsequent integration of

appropriate measures that

discourage the development of pest populations

keeps plant protection products and other interventions to levels that are

economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human health and the environment. .

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT– (IPM) GG standard requirements

Prevention


.

An IPM Toolbox (Annex CB 2) has been developed to provide

alternative actions for the application of IPM techniques in the

commercial production of agricultural and horticultural crops.

Given the natural variation on pest development for the different crops

and areas, any IPM system shall be implemented in the context of local

physical (climatic, topographical etc.),

biological (pest complex, natural enemy complex, etc.),

and economical conditions.


Prevention


1. Determine when and to what extent pests and their natural

enemies are present, and using this information to plan what

pest management techniques are required.

2. Trapping (pests), scouting, monitoring weather conditions to prevent diseases, etc.

Example: Observation of pests and beneficial insects; use of

indicator plants; alert systems, e.g. prediction models, weather

forecasts.


Observation and monitoring


Treating hot spots, borders, building up beneficial populations/habitats, spray,

etc.

Examples of intervention: bait points; pheromone traps; biological control;

application of crop protection products; anti-resistance management plan.

In situations where a pest attack will adversely affect

the economic value of a crop, it may be necessary

to intervene using specific pest control methods,

including plant protection products (PPP).

The correct use, handling and storage of plant protection products are essential.

1. CB 6.4 Intervention

2. CB 6.5 Evidence that anti-resistance recommendations are followed

3. CB 7.1 Choice of plant protection products from a current list of appropriate

and authorized products for the target crop and pest

4. CB 7.2 Advice on quantity and type of plant protection products by a qualified

person


Intervention


1. Add value to your products

2. Access to new local and global customers

3. Reduce your exposure to food safety and product safety

reputational risks.

4. Improve the efficiency of your farm processes and

management.

5. Trainings and new experience about quality management

system in Agriculture

6. Increasing of knowledge used in farming with high level

consultants

7. Access to new markets and diversification of exports directions

8. Higher reputation between exporters

9. Increasing benefits in competitiveness


Therefore…..


Our main values – environment -land/soil, water, air,

food, living place, society /people…. we must protect it

and know how to do it !

Our basic values – knowledge

Our farming added value – sustainability.
