Brazilian Context: Minor Crops Production
• Production value: US$ 6.5 billion
• Production: 17,5 million of tons
• Jobs generated : 6 to 10 employees per acre
• 60% of production: small or medium farms (< 25 acres)
(Brazil Sensus, 2007)
Brazilian’s vegetables cultivation
• Sensibility to adverse climate conditions
• Consumer profile: Quality assurance for taste, appearance and MRLs control
• Agriculture as a high risk activity: Phytosanitaryproblems.
Minor Uses in Brazil: Concept

Agronomists: pesticides

Target
Why did we do what we did?
• Nowadays: Registration depends exclusively on companies and from their perception of economic and commercial facts
• Goal: To create a fair system of registration and use of pesticides
• Government role:
�Economic and social demand�Phytosanitary emergencies
�Government programs
Specific rules for minor uses
• Tools: International directives, extrapolation and
temporary MRLs establishment.
• Goal: Standardize the label inclusion process for
minor uses pesticides.

How to use the annex?
Include new crops
ExtrapolateMRLs
System of inclusion for a new pesticides for minor uses in Brazil
MRLs extrapolation
Basic informations:
Final authorization for minor crop inclusion on pesticide label
• The MRLs and GAP will be defined by the government authorities based on representative crop data• Phytotoxicity will cancel indications and new field data will be conduced
Pesticides Indications uses on label
• Representative crop need to be on pesticide label;
• Quantity of A.I./ha needs to be lower or equal to representative crop.
• Safety period will be longer or equal to representative crop.
Monitoring Programs
• Definitive MRLs will be defined after data check
from monitoring programs. Government will check
the compatibility between MRLs from reference crop
and minor crop .
• If MRLs are then incompatible, new residues data
will be asked/generated by authorities.
What are we doing now?
• Getting information from growers;• Working on plant x active ingredient
combinations;• Working on the combinations that will be
supported by the government;• Contacting producers, EMBRAPA,
Universities and Research Centers.
Thanks for your attention!
