Version 1.1.02 of the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox is now available. It can be downloaded free of charge. This Toolbox is a software application intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. With this Toolbox, a user can fill data gaps by read-across and trend analysis, group chemicals into categories and gain access to a library of (Q)SAR models.

This Guidance Document has been developed to help countries define minor uses of pesticides at national or regional levels with the aim of enhancing the consistency among countries. It does not give an OECD definition, but rather it lists the critical elements to consider when developing a minor use definition. It was developed by Australia and reviewed on several occasions by the OECD pesticide groups.

The OECD Strategic Approach in Pesticide Risk Reduction:
- takes into account some of the main outcomes from OECD’s work on pesticide risk reduction,
- identifies the core elements that contribute to the reduction of risks arising from the use of pesticides,
- describes the main measures that lead to a significant reduction of pesticide risks (e.g. registration, compliance, IPM, training, technology, R&D, etc.), and
- recommends key elements for ensuring implementation and adoption of national action plans.

This report presents the results of an OECD survey that gathered information from twenty countries on how they collect and use sales and usage data concerning agricultural pesticides. The survey focused on the collection processes, the type of data that are collected and how these data are used and analysed. This survey provides more current and comprehensive data than that collected in a previous OECD survey conducted in 1997 which focused exclusively on agricultural pesticide sales data (see ENV/JM/MONO(99)1 .)

Publication of the Report of the Seminar on Pesticide Risk Reduction through Spray Drift Reduction Strategies as Part of National Risk Management
06-Nov-2009
This report presents the results of an OECD Seminar (June 2008) that looked at strategies to reduce pesticide spray drift and thus reduce risks posed by the application of pesticides on crops. Participants discussed various approaches for spray drift reduction (e.g. buffer zones, drift reduction technologies, labels), and developed several recommendations for promoting spray drift reduction technologies and policies. Please also visit www.oecd.org/env/spraydrift (from 2010).

Publication of the Report of the Seminar on Pesticide Risk Reduction through Education / Training the Trainers
06-Nov-2009
This report presents the outcomes of an OECD Seminar (November 2007, Mexico) that reviewed current approaches to achieving pesticide risk reduction through education and training for trainers. Participants discussed the various aspects of training programmes such as qualification, quality of training, communication and economic aspects. The Seminar recommended that countries develop training strategies and the OECD conduct a survey on education and training programmes.
