Registration of low-impact pesticides breaks record in 2022

An act of registration of 30 agricultural pesticides was published in the Official Gazette of the Union today (12/55). Of these, 27 are low-impact products. The norm is Act No. 64 of the Department of Plant Health and Agricultural Inputs of the Secretariat of Agricultural Defense.

With these records, Brazil breaks the record for low-impact pesticide registrations in 2022.

“This year, 136 new formulated products were registered, including 79 products with authorized use for organic agriculture,” highlights the deputy general coordinator of Pesticides and Related Products, Marina Dourado.

This is the largest number of product registrations of this profile in the same year.

Products considered low impact are important for agriculture not only because of their toxicological and environmental impact, but also because they benefit crops with insufficient phytosanitary support (minor crops).

From the products registered today, rural producers will have new alternatives for products of microbiological origin: Isaria javanica, Trichoderma reesei and baculovirus Spodoptera littoralis nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpliNPV).

Among the low toxicity products, those based on plant extracts of Glutinous swinglea e Larrea tridentata, fungicides permitted for use in melon and tomato crops, among other crops.

Also highlighted in today's publication are the approvals based on new substances: Pinoxadem, herbicide for controlling black oats and ryegrass in wheat and barley crops; Natamycin, fungicide for treating soybean seeds; It is Thiafenacil, herbicide for cotton, coffee, citrus, beans, corn, soybeans.

“These products represent new alternatives for controlling weeds that can cause a great impact on productivity, with less toxicity to humans and the environment than other alternatives authorized today”, highlights Dourado.
