4. Application for first inclusion of amisulbrom (ISO proposed) in Annex I of 91/414/EEC and for UK provisional approval (PPPR), in the product ‘NC-224 20SC’ formulated as a suspension concentrate containing 200 g a.s/L amisulbrom. ACP 9 (325/2007) (lilac)
Amisulbrom is a new fungicide. A commercial level of approval is being requested for the use of 'NC-224 20SC', a suspension concentrate containing 200g a.s./L amisulbrom for use on potatoes for the control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The UK is also Rapporteur for inclusion of this active substance in Annex I of 91/414/EEC.
5. Application for UK provisional approval (PPPR) for NEX 0101 (proposed name NEXY 1) containing the yeast Candida oleophila Strain O. ACP 6 (325/2007) (green)
Candida oleophila Strain O is a new biological active substance formulated as a water dispersible granule formulation (‘NEX 0101 biomass’), supplied with a separate additive nutrient source (‘NEX0101 additive’) for use as a post-harvest fungicide treatment of apple and pear. The UK is also rapporteur for inclusion of this active substance in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC.
6. Application for first inclusion of Maltodextrin in Annex I of 91/414/EED and for UK provisional approval (PPPR) of the product Eradicoat formulated as a soluble concentrate containing 539g/L maltodextrin. ACP 8 (325/2007) (pink)
Products containing maltodextrin have been on the market for some time as it carries an exemption under the Control of Pesticides Regulation (COPR) where it is considered to act by physical means. However a similar exemption under Council Directive 91/414/EEC and the Plant Protection Products Regulations (PPPR) does not exist.
A commercial level of approval under PPPR is therefore requested for the use of Eradicoat, a soluble concentrate containing 539 g a.s./L maltodextrin for use in glasshouses and the field. The UK is also Rapporteur for inclusion of this active substance in Annex I of 91/414/EEC.
