The question is on how growers in different countries have access to active ingredients - commercial formulations - for use on their crops. Here in Brazil, to buy a pesticide a prescription - with indication of the crop the pest or disease is to be controlled - is needed, which can only be emitted/signed by an agronomist. The recipies are registered at state offices and the growers need to keep that recipe in file for at least two years - federal normative - for eventual future inpections. We are working on the inconsistencies on the emitted recipes at state level and would like to have some info on how are the procedures - how growers have access to pesticides - in different places. Many thanks for any insight.
Renar Joao Bender Since 2013 Russia use FGIS (Federal State Information System) "Saturn" designed to ensure the accurate accounting of batches of pesticides and agricultural chemicals during their circulation (import, production, storage, transportation, application, sale, neutralization, disposal, destruction, and burial). It also provides analysis, processing, and control over the reliability of information related to these products. Pesticide application is regulated by the State Catalog of permitted agrochemicals.
Many thanks, dr. Alex, for the prompt reply. Here in Brazil we have the system named Agrofit of the Ministry of Agriculture. There we can look up all the registered pesticides and to which crop and pest/disease there is a register. To buy a specific molecule/formulation at a vendor the prescription is necessary - same as for medicines. The recipes need to be signed by an agronomist or a authorized technician.
