26th AGRO Conference "Behaviour of Pesticides in Air, Soil and Water" - Kongress / Konferenz von Die Akademie Fresenius GmbH
Inhalte
Plant protection products (PPP) are strictly regulated within the European Union. The risk management and environmental assessment of PPPs, essential to produce compliant products, poses challenges across the entire plant protection industry.
The conference brings together representatives from regulatory and industry backgrounds, as well as political decision-makers to discuss the latest regulatory developments. It keeps track of scientific progress, advances in environmental fate and exposure as well as recent developments in risk assessment and risk mitigation.
Highlights of the conference
Regulatory issues
- Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 update
- View from the Northern zone
- Harmonisation in the Central zone and interzonal developments
- Feedback on risk assessment in the Southern zone
- EFSA/ECHA Guidance document on the impact of water treatment processes on residues of active substances or their metabolites in water abstracted for the production of drinking water
- Update on new hazard classes: PMT/vPvM (persistent, mobile and toxic and very persistent and very mobile) substances
- Update on the GB pesticide regulatory regime
Environmental fate
- Comparison of monitoring of pesticides in small stream in Europe and what is means for the authorisation
- Do biotransformation data from laboratory experiments reflect micropollutant degradation in a large river basin?
Exposure, risk assessment and risk mitigation
- Status of the OECD efforts in drafting the guidelines on the PUF experiments
- Update on SDLM (Spatially Distributed Leaching Modelling) – focus on the use in regulation
- Considering precision agriculture in regulatory exposure assessments of pesticides – update on the European Precision Application Task Force (EUPAF)
- NTAs – linking e-fate effects with exposure
- Update on key steps for risk assessment of Non-Target Terrestrial Organisms (NTTO) linking exposure and effects
Excursion to FZJ
A special highlight will be an excursion to the Forschungszentrum Jülich, where you have the chance to learn about state-of-the-art digital technologies for sustainable crop production.
