- Title
Biopesticides and Pollinators – Examples and requirements on risk assessment from a technical perspective.
- Authors

- Abstract
Biopesticides such as plant extracts or microbial compounds are currently the fastest growing segment of the crop protection industry, making the need for a more structured and efficient risk assessment undisputable. Regulators and relevant authorities have started to work on binding documents and set requirements, but yet, navigating the regulatory pathway is still a challenge. Requirements differ around the globe. As an example, in Europe, Biopesticides are treated similar to conventional plant protection products; whereas, in the US a separate set of requirements and partly also risk assessment is set up. This presentation intends to show current legislative background and guidelines in place when it comes to risk assessment for pollinators concerning biopesticides. Further on some examples from the daily laboratory routine as well as differences between standard approaches for conventional plant protection products versus biopesticides are shown. Overall the need for a differentiated approach as well as adapted mechanisms and testing strategies for special type of biologically active compounds shall be discussed.
