Targeted Application, Spray Technology and Authorisation Workshop

VISIT EVENT WEBSITE

Recent developments of pesticide application technology are in the fields of precision spraying, precise targeting, variable rate application, spot spraying, and improved sprayer efficiency resulting in increased on-target spray deposit and biological efficacy.

These new spray technology developments generally use lower doses of pesticides and can therefore be of influence on spray drift, ground deposition in the field and on the residue levels in produce and the environment.

The lower dose of pesticides used with these techniques and the localised application of e.g. task-map based and spot spray applications result in a lower amount of pesticide applied to the field and a non-homogenous distribution in the field which is at the moment not addressed in the authorisation procedure of pesticides.

This workshop wants to bring together practical experience, scientific knowledge and regulators insights and methodologies to address the potential use of precision application technology in the pesticide authorisation procedure.

Registration deadline is April 26th 2023.
