EPPO Standards on efficacy evaluation of plant protection products: update of the web-based database


The EPPO Standards for the efficacy evaluation of plant protection products (PP1) describe the conduct of trials carried out to assess the efficacy of plant protection products against specific pests. They are addressed to all institutions, official registration authorities, public institutes or private firms carrying out such trials. Since February 2009 the whole series of EPPO PP1 Standards (more than 260 standards covering a wide range of crops and pests) is available in an online database. A new interface has been released in July 2012 to facilitate access to PP1 Standards. All Standards can be easily retrieved as PDF files by using a simple search tool.
The database has been updated with new and revised standards adopted by EPPO Council in September 2012. It also includes consolidated versions incorporating changes described in the errata published for PP1/50(3) and PP1/158(3).

All general Standards (e.g. design, conduct, reporting and analysis of trials, phytotoxicity, effects on succeeding crops, analysis of resistance risk, minor uses) can be accessed free of charge. Access to specific Standards (e.g. aphids on potato, weeds in cereals) is provided for an annual fee (400 EUR for single user – 1000 EUR for multiple users). Subscriptions should be made directly online via the database.

In addition, 4 new extrapolation tables have been adopted to accompany EPPO Standard PP 1/257 Efficacy and crop safety extrapolations for minor uses. All extrapolation tables are on the EPPO website: http://www.eppo.int/PPPRODUCTS/minor_uses/minor_uses.htm
