Minor Use Pesticide Program (MUPP) Field and Greenhouse Research Trials - Pest Management Centre

The requested work covers a number of different crops, pests and pesticides in different crop growing zones across North America.

TO CONDUCT PESTICIDE EFFICACY AND CROP TOLERANCE TRIALS, SCREENING TRIALS AND RESIDUE TRIALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OECD GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICES (GLP)

RESIDUE TRIALS
Proponents must submit the “Residue Trial Application Form” for each trial for which a bid is being made.

All residue trials must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) or U.S.A. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) GLP.

Zone 1 = 1A and Zones 5=5A=5B. Bids are acceptable for locations within the combined zones; however, bids for trials within the specified subzone may be given preference for trial distribution purposes. Note that Zone 7 does not equal Zone 7A.

Residue Trials are available for the following:

Zone 5/5A/5B
Asparagus, Celery, Cranberry, Hemp, onion (green), Spices (Dill),

Zone 7
Quinoa

Zone 12
Cranberry

Zone 14
Buckwheat, Hemp, Quinoa,

EFFICACY/CROP TOLERANCE/ SCREENING TRIALS
Proponents must submit the “Efficacy, Crop Tolerance and Screening Trials Application Form” for each trial for which a bid is being made.

Location of the trial must be identified and efforts to ensure sufficient pest pressure at the site must be documented and submitted with the proposal.

Bids for trial locations in differing zones than indicated may be made with documented support that the crop is grown and that the pest occurs in the proposed zone. Preference may be given to locations in the zone specified for trial distribution purposes.

Efficacy/Crop Tolerance Trials are available for the following:

Entomology:
Asparagus, Buckwheat, Field-grown conifers including Christmas trees, Grape, Ornamental (Outdoor), Quinoa, Spices (dill)

Pathology:
Broccoli, Cabbage, Caneberry (raspberry), Cherry (tart), Cucumber (greenhouse), Field-grown conifers including Christmas trees, Radish, Spinach,

Weed Science:
Cranberry, Ginseng, Sesame
