EPPO Standards on efficacy evaluation of plant protection products: new version of the PP1 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. They are addressed to all institutions, official registration authorities, public institutes or private firms carrying out such trials. The whole series of EPPO PP1 Standards (more than 300 Standards covering a wide range of crops and pests) is available via an online database. 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. Subscriptions should be made directly online via the database.

In January 2018 a new version of the database was released. This new version includes a new lay-out and improved functionalities to help users consult and retrieve the EPPO PP1 Standards and better adapt the payment system to different levels of services. In addition, the database has been updated with the following new and revised standards adopted by EPPO Council in September 2017.
