    Risk Assessment and Selection of Plant Protection Products to be Used in Integrated Pest Management Programmes
    (JOURNAL OF TEKIRDAG AGRICULTURE FACULTY-TEKIRDAG ZIRAAT FAKULTESI DERGISI, 2024-05-01) Erdogan, Cem
    In Turkiye, it is important to carry out agricultural production in a sustainable manner by protecting biodiversity. Our country's agricultural sector has various problems in production, some of which have become chronic. There are many problems affecting agricultural production and productivity such as decreasing arable agricultural areas, increasing food demand, young generation moving away from agriculture, input costs, rural development, prevalence of small family farming and consequently fragmented land structure and climate change. One of the reasons affecting productivity in production is diseases, pests and weeds in agricultural production. The way of sustainable agricultural production by protecting biological diversity is through the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In Integrated Pest Management, it is essential to use all control methods against agricultural pests in harmony, and biological, biotechnical and cultural measures are prioritised. As a last resort, the application of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) is desired. For this reason, the PPS to be used should not be harmful to human health, should not cause environmental pollution, should not adversely affect parasitoids, predators, pollinators and should not cause residues in the products. In other words, it is essential that the application of PPPs should not be carried out randomly and unconsciously, but in a sustainable manner based on reason, science, knowledge and in a way that will help the conservation of biological diversity. In the selection of PPPs to be used in Integrated Pest Management, risk assessments are made by considering the effects of active substances on mammals, fish, non-target organisms (parasitoids, predators) and honey bees and their persistence in soil in order to reveal the risks that may occur in terms of human and environmental health, and priority is given to PPPs such as biologics and insect growth regulators. As a result of the risk assessment studies carried out, a total of 734 PPPs, including 495 active substances, 204 mixtures, 13 biological preparations, 21 biological control agents and 1 safener, were examined and the appropriate ones were presented to the service of our producers and our country's agriculture in the integrated control technical instructions.
