Pesticide minor use permits for GRDC crops

GRDC’s “Pesticides for Minor Uses in Grain” project identifies pesticides considered by industry to be essential for continued sustainable production of minor grain crops and then seeks to have them registered or permitted for use.

We collaborate with agricultural state departments, independent advisors and the chemical industry to obtain the information necessary for registration or minor use permits for nominated chemicals in co-operation with Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).

The program aims to consider pesticide (herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides) use in minor crops or minor uses in major crops.

Compliance

Minor use permits are granted based on best available information.

Conditions of approval may involve the development of further supporting data to validate the use for further permits, renewals or registration.

This validation often involves test regimes to determine acceptable pesticide residue in the crop commodities.

IT IS CRITICAL permit users adhere to the permit and label use restrictions and recommendations to minimise export, crop safety and other potential issues associated with use.
