Surveillance by authorities
As you decided your country has medium resources, it is suggested that farmers, pesticide users and suppliers alert pesticide resistance to authorities through a reporting system. It consists of 7 activities:
- Surveillance and reporting by farmers and pesticides users
- Surveillance by suppliers: monitoring, evaluation of data trends for own products and decisions on necessary changes to products used or additional mitigation measures
- Suppliers report information on pesticide resistance to the authorities
- Monitoring of pesticide resistance by the authorities
- Evaluation data trends and feedback into a registration system
- Decisions on necessary changes to registrations (i.e. rotating of recommended products)
- Authorities report of resistance in their country into international pesticide resistance alert system
