Pre-Conference Workshops • 10 September 2019

ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND MODELLING REQUIREMENTS

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS FOR BIOCONTROL

FOUNDATIONS OF AGROCHEMICAL FORMULATION: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION.

EFSA feedback on changes made to EU Guidance Documents • The current protection goals of EFSA for key guidance documents • The timelines of ongoing documents • Status of renewals for currently active guidance

Best practices for efficient Dossiers building for Biopesticides • Understanding the data requirements for biopesticides dossier application • Assessing the costs required for Dossier submissions

Introduction: Formulation is an essential value-adding step for agrochemical products. A good formulation will ensure that the active ingredient can be applied safely, economically, reproducibly and reliably with acceptable impact on the environment. Formulation can also provide new and improved benefits to the product and the user. In this interactive workshop we will provide a basic introduction to the main agrochemical formulation types and how they are made.

We will cover:• Relevant industry trends and drivers

• What is formulation - and why formulate?

• What are the main formulation types and why are there so many of them?

• How are formulations made and measured?

At the end of this session, participants will have a good basic knowledge of the main agrochemical formulation types, their pros and cons as well as an appreciation of how they are made.
