Synopsis (short abstract) These guidelines aim to provide practical guidance in the registration of microorganisms, botanicals and semiochemicals for plant protection and public health. The document focuses primarily on data requirements for registration and evaluation approaches. It provides national authorities with a framework for registering biopesticides, identifies aspects where they differ from chemical pesticides, and indicates where registration authorities should pay special attention. Specific chapters are ded icated to each type of biopesticide: microbials, botanicals and semiochemicals. These guidelines are complementary to the two technical Guidelines already published in the framework of the International FAO/WHO Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management: the Guidelines on registration of pesticides (2010) and the Guidelines on data requirements for the registration of pesticides (2014).

    Biological pest control agents are naturally occurring or genetically modified agents that are distinguished from conventional chemical pesticides by their unique modes of action, low use volume, and target species specificity. These guidelines include information on biochemical and microbial pest control agents and their data requirements.

    Guidelines on Efficacy Evaluation for the Registration of Plant Protection Products 2006
    Also available in:
    guidelines were developed to provide guidance for both the pesticide industry and for governments on the design, conduct and evaluation of pesticide efficacy trials, as stipulated by the Code of Conduct. The guidelines are limited to pesticides intended for plant protection, including the protection of stored products, and plant growth regulators, desiccants or defoliants.

    Pesticides are widely used by pest control operators (PCOs) for the control of vectors, pests of public health importance, stored product pests, structural pests such as termites and wood-boring insects, as well as weeds along highways and public places. The use of pesticides in close proximity to the human population by PCOs who are untrained, lacking in competence and unregulated in many countries is of great concern. Such uncontrolled pest control activities not only affect human health and at times even kill but also cause adverse environmental effects and shorten the period of availability of much needed pesticides due to resistance.
