    ChineseRecently, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) published in the Federal Government Gazette of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Agricultural Inputs Act No.
    31 determined to register 46 pesticide formulation products for effective use
    by farmers.
    Of these, 7 are organic ingredients and 4 are approved for organic farming
    .
     
    The latest biopesticide product, the parasitic wasp Catolaccus grandis, was recorded for the first time for the control of cotton bollshells
    .
    This major cotton pest has been rampant in Brazil since the 80s of the 20th century
    .
    According to Reference Specification (ER) No.
    42, in a pilot study conducted by Franciscode Sousa Ramalho, researcher at Embrapa Algodão, this registered parasitic wasp performed well
    in pest control.
    The product has the name of a phytosanitary product approved for organic agriculture and can be used on both organic and conventional crops
    .
     
    Other biological products with low environmental impact are mixtures of
    Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas chlororaphis and Isaria fumosorosea 。 In organic agriculture, in addition to parasitic wasps, there are isolates of Beauveria bassiana, metarhizium anisopliae and Trichoderma asperellum
    .
     
    With regard to chemical products, it is worth mentioning among the registered products the fungicides
    based on fluzolamide.
    Four branded products are registered as mixtures of difenoconazole and one product is its single-dose product
    .
    The fungicide is recommended for soybeans, cotton, corn, coffee and other crops
    .
     
    The registered products also include 3 plant hormones and 1 plant growth regulator (1,4-dimethylnaphthalene), mainly used in the potato processing industry
    .
     
    Other registered products are active ingredients
    that have previously been registered in Brazil.
    The registration of generic pesticides is essential to reduce market concentration and increase competition, leading to fairer trade and lower
    agricultural production costs in Brazil.
     
    All registered products are analysed and approved
    by the bodies responsible for health, environment and agriculture in accordance with scientific standards and international practices.
     
    Biological control products
     
    Since 2000, Brazil has registered
    a total of 552 biocontrol products with low environmental impact.
     
    Products considered low environmental impact are those with active ingredients in biology, microbiology, information chemistry, biochemistry, plant extracts and growth regulators that may be approved for use
    in organic agriculture in some cases.
    These biological products are important for agriculture, not only because of their toxicological and environmental impacts, but also because they benefit crops with insufficient phytosanitary support (small-scale crops) because these products are registered
    through pests and not by crop category like chemicals.
     
    With the registration of these 7 new products, Brazil already registered 43 low-toxicity products
    for pest control in 2022.
