1. Some Unique Trials 2008/2009/2010 Crop Group Validation - Brassica Global Residue – Tomato Public Health – Mosquito Control

2. Brief Background and Introduction Turn over to the FRD who did the work – Special Challenges offered by the work – Differences from the norm

3. Crop Group Validation - Brassicas Field Research Directors Brent Boutwell Chuck Farrar Study Director Bill Barney Objective: To validate the crop grouping methodology used by IR-4/EPA to set crop group tolerances

4. 5. BRASSICA (COLE) LEAFY VEGETABLES Rep Crops: Broccoli or cauliflower; cabbage; and mustard greens Includes: Broccoli; broccoli, Chinese (gai lon); broccoli raab (rapini); Brussels sprouts; cabbage; cabbage, Chinese (bok choy); cabbage, Chinese (napa); cabbage, Chinese mustard(gai choy); cauliflower; cavalo broccolo; collards; kale; kohlrabi; mizuna; mustard greens; mustard spinach; rape greens

5. 5A. Head & Stem Brassica subgroup Rep Crops: Broccoli or cauliflower and cabbage Include: Broccoli; broccoli, Chinese; brussels sprouts; cabbage; cabbage, Chinese (napa); cabbage, Chinese mustard; cauliflower; cavalo broccolo; kohlrabi

6. 5B. Leafy Brassica greens subgroup Rep Crop: Mustard greens Includes: Broccoli raab; cabbage, Chinese (bok choy); collards; kale; mizuna; mustard greens; mustard spinach; rape greens

7. Preliminary Data Crop Group 5 (Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables needs to be revised – Mustard greens – highest residue – rep all 5? – 3 crop groups Flowering (broccoli, cauliflower) Head (cabbage, brussel sprouts etc.) Leafy (mustard greens etc.) OR – Move all leafy brassica greens to Leafy Vegetables – Include flowering and head brassica in Brassica crop group harmonize with Codex

8. Global Residue Study - Tomatoes FRD – Chuck Farrar Study Director – Michael Braverman Objective: – To test the influence of various geographic locations on the ultimate pesticide residues in field grown tomato when subjected to standardized application parameters.

9. IR-4 Global Residue Project Standardized application parameters Great Training Videos – overall picture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o23QUBJm7rc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL8pZs6plro

11. Public Health Project Etofenprox – control adult mosquitoes To propose a “blanket” tolerance to cover all crops using data from alfalfa, pasture grass and leaf lettuce Currently can’t spray where might drift onto agricultural fields Limits use in mosquito control surrounded by agriculture
