Pesticide registration in EU (Reg. 1107/2009 EC) requires appropriate risk assessment for non-target organisms including birds and mammals. The European Food Safety Authority developed a Guidance Document (GD) which doesn’t include scenarios for pesticide applications on rice; nowadays risk assessment…

OpenVandA – Visualize and Assess: a tool for the pesticide risk mitigation in surface water
The Directive 2009/128/CE of European Parliament and Council on Sustainable Use of Pesticides introduced a community action framework to protect the Environment of the EU and requested Member States to implement policies and actions in order to reduce the risk…
OpenB-Rice: bird focal species identification in rice paddy
Pesticide registration in EU (Reg. 1107/2009 EC) requires appropriate risk assessment for non-target organisms including birds. The European Food Safety Authority developed a Guidance Document (GD) to conduct the risk assessment considering a series of exposure scenarios from a combination…
OpenMinimal variation in input parameters highly influences PEARL and PELMO results: how can these results be trustable?
The calculation of Predicted Environmental Concentration of pesticides in groundwater (PECGW) is a crucial point in the registration and authorization process of plant protection products (PPPs) in Europe. Calculations are usually performed by FOCUS models, in particular PEARL and PELMO…
