Types of Registrations

• Section 3

  raspberries for nematode control for Spring 2008.
  
• Vydate is a soil-applied insecticide/nematicide
• Three residue field trials conducted at NWREC in
  2006 and efficacy data from Jack Pinkerton, et
  al, will support the Section 18 request
• Full, permanent registration of oxamyl will be
  for both raspberries and blackberries.
• Vydate is not yet registered !

16
Nemacur Update

  raspberries.
• Retailers must stop sale of Nemacur by 5/31/08.
• Nemacur can still be used by raspberry growers
  until further notice. Product availability is
  low.
• Dont know if/when EPA will cancel registration
  (they usually allow several years for product
  and/or treated crop to be out of the channels of
  trade before they cancel).

17
New RegistrationsHerbicides

  applications/year allowed
• Imidacloprid (Admire) new label that includes
  caneberries does not list crown borer (just cane
  borer) but Admire should be effective for control
  of RCB larvae (as per Arkansas data) working
  with Bayer on having RCB added to label.
• Bifenthrin (Brigade 2EC) pre-bloom application
  is either soil-applied or foliar (for other
  insects) but not both

MRL Harmonization
Promote newer, safer pest controls, especially
in developing countries Develop common
approaches for developing and sharing data for
review. Harmonize MRLs around the world to
remove export impediments
300 Participants 60 Countries
29
Recommendations

• Communication
• Develop a system to identify crop/pest
  combination needs globally
• Data Generation for Efficacy and Residue
• Global zoning based on comparable agro-climatic
  conditions
• Data Sharing
• MRL Harmonization
• Overcome data ownership
• Further information (Portal website)
