Plant protection products applied as seed treatments have several environmental advantages compared with foliar spray applications, especially lower use rates and less drift to off-crop habitats. Regulatory risk assessments for seed treatment products in the EU are routinely based on maximum ‘commonly used’ sowing rates. Such assessments may overestimate the true risk as sowing rate distributions can be skewed by atypically high sowing rates, which are often a result of localized conditions. To have a better view of realistic worst-case sowing rates for key field crops (cereals, maize, oilseed rape, sunflower, soybean and sugar beet) grown in the EU, a large-scale farmer survey was conducted in 2020 and 2021 across a representative range of EU countries, and the United Kingdom. The total number of farmers interviewed ranged from 112 (spring oilseed rape) to 14 479 (winter wheat). The number of countries from which farmers were interviewed ranged from three (spring oilseed rape) to 17 (winter wheat). Mean and 90th percentile values of sowing rates were calculated from the survey results per crop and are proposed as more representative worst-case values for use in seed treatment regulatory risk assessments.</p>","PeriodicalId":34952,"journal":{"name":"EPPO Bulletin","volume":"55 1","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/epp.13078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During my recent participation in the 19th session of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM-19), discussions took place on how plant health is intricately connected to human and environmental health. The One Health approach, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and plant health, is essential to our work moving forward. As I settle into my role at EPPO, I am deeply committed to advancing initiatives that support a sustainable and integrated approach to global health.</p><p>The content of the <i>EPPO Bulletin</i> highlights our ongoing efforts to maintain scientific integrity and optimize resources in plant protection. This issue includes EPPO Standards on Efficacy Evaluation of Plant Protection Products and EPPO Standards on Diagnostics as well as an EPPO Datasheet and several original articles. The EPPO Standards are recommendations that are addressed to the NPPOs of EPPO member countries, and this harmonized guidance helps our member countries in their work for the protection of plants and the environment.</p><p>Additionally, the <i>EPPO Bulletin</i> underscores our commitment to scientific collaboration and the ongoing publication of important information. Resources like the EPPO Datasheet on <i>Chloridea virescens</i> and the risk prioritization of bamboo species in the EPPO region serve as valuable tools for guiding policy and practice in pest management. The emergence of new pests, such as <i>Euwallacea fornicatus</i> in Spain and <i>Eutetranychus orientalis</i> in Sicily, reminds us of the evolving challenges in plant health. EPPO's ability to respond to the needs of our member countries by updating Standards and offering guidance on integrated pest management solutions highlights the importance of international collaboration. As global funding continues to shrink, it is more crucial than ever for us to unite and sustain our efforts to protect plant health. I am honoured to be part of this vital mission and look forward to the continued work we will do together.</p>","PeriodicalId":34952,"journal":{"name":"EPPO Bulletin","volume":"55 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/epp.13088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This should be used to reconsider the listing of ‘Non-European Scolytinae’ as quarantine pests in the current EU Regulation. In a first stage, EFSA short-listed 88 Scolytinae species developing on broadleaf hosts and known for their mobility, having impact levels documented in literature and either absent or with a limited presence in the EU. EFSA then asked the European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL) to provide comments related to its expertise in the diagnosis of quarantine insects, and to assess the practical and technical implications of including these species in the list submitted for future regulation? The EURL proceeded with a case-by-case examination of these 88 species and ranked the overall feasibility of their identification, from A (both morphological and molecular tools available) to D (none available). Several related issues were also raised. In particular, the molecular identification of Scolytinae using sequences hosted in NCBI GenBank and Bold databases proved to be highly hazardous. The case of the <i>Euwallacea fornicatus</i> complex was also especially problematic because of multiple issues in its taxonomy and in the available tools for the distinction of its constitutive species. As a result, we proposed a list of recommendations for consideration in modifying EFSA's pest categorization and selected the tools to be developed in the next EURL working programme.</p>","PeriodicalId":34952,"journal":{"name":"EPPO Bulletin","volume":"55 1","pages":"117-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/epp.13084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
