China ICAMA Issues Interim Guideline on Pesticide Registration Efficacy Test Trial Location

China issued interim guidelines on the location of pesticide registration field trial sites for 20 and over 140 pests. Registration applicants are no longer required to specify the proposed trial sites during field trial application and are instead designated a field trail location by regulatory authorities based on specific criteria. 

On 28 Jun 2016, China ICAMA issued the “Interim Guideline on the Field efficacy Trial Sites of Pesticide Registration”, which includes the requirements for trial location of 20 major crops and over 140 pests and diseases and will take effect on 1 Aug 2016.

The guideline was compiled based on “Regulation for the Control of Agriculture Chemicals”, “Data Requirement on Pesticide Registration” while taking full account of crop plantation and pest distribution patterns. The trial area for each crop has been divided into 2 to 7 test zones.  Zones are representative of different provinces and respective crop type and associated pests. (see Table 1).
