REVIEW PEST STATUS IN ARABLE AND HORTICULTURAL CROPS OF NORTHERN IRELAND

Plant protection products are evaluated for their efficacy ( Efficacy Evaluations and Guidelines (hse.gov.uk)). It is important that the efficacy evaluation considers any specific agronomic conditions in terms of the crops grown, the pests that affect them, climatic conditions, typical rotations and the resistance status of any pests.

The objective of the project is to produce a review of horticulture and arable farming in Northern Ireland (NI) and the status of associated pests.

The review will provide sufficient information to improve understanding of agronomic practices in NI and identify aspects that may differ to Great Britain (GB). Providing information on the range and acreages of crops, major or minor status of crop pests will ensure that the relevance to NI of the regulatory data submitted to support product authorisations can be assessed.
