Implementing Biological Control Agents in the ASEAN Region

The crop should be examined for presence or absence of phytotoxic effects. The type and extent of these effects should be recorded including major symptoms of pesticide phytotoxicity on crops as defined in FAO guidelines for phytotoxicity assessment in protocol FAO/AP/027. In addition, any positive effects (phytotonic) of test product on crop growth and yield should also be noted. If the proposed label claims an effect on yield then yield should be included in the field evaluation of the product. Quantitative and/or qualitative yield should be recorded where relevant in each treatment and should preferably be converted into kg/ha for statistical comparison. The results should be reported in a systematic form and the report should include an analysis and evaluation. The report of the trial should include a biological dossier containing the individual efficacy trial reports or their summaries and record keeping and reporting of individual trials (field note book, trial report including objective of the trial, organisational aspects, methodology, results, discussions and conclusions). • Lace L.A. & Kaya H.K., eds.
