Nouvelles règles d’évaluation des produits phytopharmaceutiques : conséquences pour les oléagineux

Abstract

At the beginning of 2009, Parliament has adopted two directives to reduce utilizations of pesticides in Europe. Some Cut off criteria will be used after 2011 for the approval of active substances. This decision will affect the possibilities of chemical protection for the oilseed. A Pesticides Safety Directorate study shows that several herbicides, fungicides and insecticides actually used will be suspended, but without major impact for the crop protection, especially if expected innovations will be available next years.
