Availability of pesticides for use on root and leafy vegetables

Sva sredstva za zaštitu bilja moraju imati dozvolu za promet, primjenu, biti registrirana i pod nadzorom. Povrće napadaju i oštećuju brojni štetni organizmi od sjetve ili sadnje do berbe. Rastući broj štetnih organizama predstavlja veliki problem u zaštiti povrća i samoj proizvodnji uz istovremeno smanjivanje dozvoljenih pesticida za njihovo suzbijanje. Dodatni problem u zaštiti povrća od štetnih organizama je što su brojne vrste povrća iz perspektive distributera tzv. male kulture, pa za njih u Hrvatskoj nisu registrirani pesticidi ili je njihov broj vrlo ograničen. Ako ne postoje registrirani pesticidi, često nije moguće provesti primjerenu zaštitu bilja. Ukoliko je broj dozvoljenih pesticida ograničen, često je potrebno ponovo primijeniti iste pesticide, što može dovesti do pojave rezistentnosti štetnih organizama. Kroz provedeno istraživanje jasna je razlika u broju aktivnih tvari za suzbijanje štetnika među korjenastim i lisnatim povrćem. Za većinu kultura postoje sredstva za suzbijanje štetnika.All pesticides must be approved for distribution, the application must be registered and supervised. In vegetable production the numerous organisms attack and damage crops. Those organisms are collectively referred to as pests attacking crops from sowing to harvest. The growing number of harmful organisms poses a major problem in the protection of vegetables and production itself while reducing the permitted pesticides for their control. An additional problem in protecting vegetables from harmful organisms is that many types of vegetables are from the perspective of distributors of so-called small crops, so pesticides are not registered in Croatia or their numbers are very limited. In the absence of registered pesticides, it is often not possible to implement adequate plant protection. If the number of pesticides allowed is limited, it is often necessary to repeat the same pesticides, which can lead to the emergence of pest resistance. Through the conducted research, there is a clear difference in the number of active pest control agents between root and leafy vegetables. For most cultures, there are pest control agents
