Development of data packages for registration of novel nematicides based upon plant oil formulations

项目合作伙伴Barrier Biotech Ltd（BB）、Syngenta Ltd（SYN）和John Innes Centre（JIC）申请资金，以开发基于植物油配方的新型杀线虫剂产品。这些制剂将针对影响可耕地块根作物的线虫，并替代由于植物保护产品指令（91/414/EEC）的变化而退出市场的现有商业杀线虫剂。BB在植物油方面拥有丰富的商业经验，并有初步证据表明其专利配方可以控制农业和园艺作物中的线虫问题。天然制剂在低浓度下提供功效;对环境的风险最小;将提高用户安全性和土壤可持续性，并且由于化学成分的复杂性及其天然存在的变异性，可能提供更持久的虫害防治。该项目旨在为CRD和/或DG SANCO注册新型杀线虫剂制剂开发档案，这将是开发可销售的商业产品的基础，旨在减少产量损失，减少供应链中的浪费和成本，并在英国农业中推广具有成本效益和安全的解决方案。这些制剂可能对其他主要农作物如甜菜、番茄和黄瓜上的线虫有效。

Project partners Barrier Biotech Ltd (BB), Syngenta Ltd (SYN) and the John Innes Centre (JIC) applied for funding to develop novel nematocide products based on plant oil formulations. These formulations will target nematodes affecting arable root crops and substitute existing commercial nematicides coming off the market due to changes in the Plant Protection Products Directive (91/414/EEC). BB has extensive commercial experience with plant oils and has preliminary evidence suggesting that their patented formulations can control nematode problems within both agricultural and horticultural crops. Natural formulations provide efficacy at low concentrations; represent a minimal risk for the environment; will enhance user safety and soil sustainability and are likely to provide more durable pest control due to the complexity of chemical composition and their naturally occurring variability. The project aims to develop dossiers for CRD and/or DG SANCO registration of novel nematicide formulations which will be the foundation of the development of marketable commercial products designed to cut losses in yield, reduce wastage and costs within the supply chain and promote cost effective and secure solutions within UK agriculture. These formulations are likely to be effective against nematodes on other major agricultural crops as well such as sugar beet, tomato and cucumber.
