USDA’s Perspective on Plant Biostimulants Colin Stewart, PhD USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine Assistant Director- Pests, Pathogens, and Biocontrol Permits colin.stewart@aphis.usda.gov 301-851-2237 March 13, 2019

2017: BPIA approached USDA APHIS PPQ Asked for help to define a clear regulatory pathway certify safety and efficacy harmonize labels between states Biostimulants- neither biopesticides nor fertilizers

USDA APHIS Plant Protection and Quarantine’s Authority Regulate only small scale field trials of biological control organisms No authority to certify products Recognized that USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) may be able to help APHIS’ role: facilitate the process

USDA APHIS’ Facilitation Hosted three meetings, numerous calls Brought together members of industry, state and federal regulators Identified major issues

2019 Farm Bill Work on report in 2019 Farm Bill Calls on USDA and EPA to work with state and federal regulators, industry Report on industry needs and state and federal authorities

Results- Three Working Groups Regulatory Group: Fred Betz (Fred Betz Regulatory Strategies) and Pamela Howlett (Bayer Crop Science) State Coordination Group: Terry Stone (Agrinos) and Amy Roberts (Lallemand) Standards and Criteria: John Breen (Actagro) and Britt Aasmundstad (NASDA)

Results- a pathway: Process Verified Program (PVP) Managed by USDA AMS Voluntary Fee for service program Criteria and standards set by industry Products marked with a USDA “seal”
