Developing the technical basis for a test method for planters with reduced drift of dust pickling
Project
Project code: 2809HS004
Contract period: 01.11.2009
- 31.01.2012
Budget: 178,762 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
'The project is part of the focus' 'risk assessment techniques, avoidance of negative impacts on the ecosystem,' 'in' 'research program of the federal government and the states of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg to combat western corn rootworm and to develop scientific recommendations for containment measures' '. the results of the work are an important basis for conducting inspections of planters. the measured drift data for exposure scenarios for assessing the risk to bees, but also all other arthropods, required under the authorization of plant protection products. the close linkage of equipment testing and authorization of plant protection products in the past has often led to farmers to provide adequate facilities in terms of technology application and the approved funding.
First Determination of the prior art regarding the drifting all available in the market planters to obtain a sound scientific basis for assessing the need to reduce spray drift. These drift measurements with practical equipment and commercial seed be carried out in the open. Second Development of test methods that enable the BBA to create guidelines for a reproducible, simple and quick assessment of planters, taking into account the dressing quality (abrasion). For this purpose a test is designed, built and tested. '
