The Pesticide Programme helps OECD governments to co-operate in assessing and reducing the risks of agricultural pesticides. The programme focuses on “plant protection” pesticides, most notably those used in agriculture. Non-agricultural pesticides are dealt with under the OECD Biocide Programme. Please see an overview of our work in the following fields:
o Agricultural Chemical Pesticide Registration
o BioPesticide Registration
o Testing and Assessment
o Risk Reduction
