The application Biopesticides was created in the frame of the EU funded research project RATION – Risk Assessment Innovation of Low-Risk Pesticides – which aims to develop and implement a novel risk assessment procedure for potential low risk pesticides of biological origin like microbials, botanicals, semiochemicals and pheromones and ds-RNA based compounds. The application is destined to provide an on-line updated view of the list of biopesticides, including those categorized as low-risk, that are registered and used in the member states. The data provided are directly taken by the EU pesticide database of the European Commission and they are constantly updated. Besides the list, the appl BIOPESTICIDES provides information on the uses of each product to the different crops and the countries where each product is registered for use. Furthermore, the user can find the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for agricultural products per active substance as well as the documents related to their registration including environmental fate an (eco)toxicological properties and a summary of the risk assessment. Finally, the user could add data of biopesticides use in their field sites that can be summarized per year and country. The app BIOPESTICIDES is destined for farmers, agronomists, regulators, researchers from industry and academia but also the general public which is willing to get updated for plant protection products that are in the market and they are categorized as low risk.
