Present situation in plant protection in Germany: Treatment indices

[Source: Reference Farms Network. Annual Report. Freier et al. 2011]

The Treatment index (TI) is used as indicator of the intensity of pesticide uses. It considers dose reduction in proportion to the authorised one and partial field application of each pesticide. For example, authorised dose in entire field means TI = 1.0, half dose in entire field TI = 0.5, and half dose in half field TI = 0.25. In tank mixtures, pesticides are separately counted.

The present legal framework in Germany: Targets of the National Action Plan 2008

1. Risk reduction by the year 2020 by 25 % (basis 1996-2005) through:

reduction of uses above the “necessary minimum”

substitution of plant protection product use through non-chemical

alternatives

2. Reduction of exceeding MRLs in domestic and imported products <1%

3. Avoiding costs for unnecessary use of plant protection products


Agenda








Outcomes of the present action plan 2008 to 2011 [cf. www.nap-pflanzenschutz.de]

Promotion of farms to use IPM tools: e.g. Baden-Württemberg

Measure About € per ha

No use of chemical pesticides 90

No use of herbicides in arable farming 70

No use of herbicides in permanent crops 40

Use of Trichogramma (2X) 60

Use of beneficial organisms in green houses 2.500

Use of pheromone confusion technique in orchards 100

Use of pheromone confusion technique in vineyards 100

Promotion of organic farms dominates agri-environmental programs in Germany [2010: ca. 140 Mio € per year for 990.702ha (5,9%) or 21.942 farms (7,3%)]

Promotion of IPM has to be increased!

sub-targets and time frames

2. Reduction of exceeding MRLs in domestic and imported products <1%

4. Avoiding costs for unnecessary use of plant protection products

5. More organic farming (at least 20% of the acreage?)

or ecological focus areas?)

7. Efficient water protection (e.g. fixed buffer zones of 5 or more metres?)

8. .....

Agenda









The current NAP contains already aspects of the SUD; only a revision is needed.

Broad public debates & stakeholders participation (via conferences, workshops,

temporarily installed working groups) have taken place since 2002.

There is a need to strengthen advisory services, field experiments and R&D.

Installation of demonstration farms to spread knowledge in IPM started 2010.

Focusing of voluntary initiatives instead of regulatory rules.

Data acquisition & indicators as important tools to measure NAP progress.

A network of reference farms support data acquisition and decision making.

Transparency & information will be improved (e.g. Homepage, newsletters)

The permanent Forum of the NAP where all stakeholders are represented is

continued.


Conclusion & outlook: time frame

May, 2012: The BMELV*) with support of the Forum finished the draft.

August, 2012: The relevant federal ministries will finish their negotiations.

Autumn, 2012: The BMELV will contribute the Länder (federal states) again.

Autumn, 2012: The BMELV will start with public participation.

End, 2012: The federal government will adopt the action plan.

January, 2013: The national action will start.

Spring, 2018. First 5-year progress report.

*) BMELV = Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, the responsible ministry
