Abstract

During the last 15 years the number of approved active substances and the assortment of authorized Plant Protection Products used in stored-product protection has decreased. An overview of these authorized Plant Protection Products in Germany and the uses are presented.

To avoid resistance and maintain a wide variety of approved chemical methods, uses of chemical Plant Protection Products have to follow best technology and standards available. Above all, efforts have to be made to develop new active substances and Plant Protection Products for the pest control in stored products which consider aspects of substainable production and food safety.
