Plant protection; general information
Brief description
Plant protection is a prerequisite and an integral part of efficient plant production.Description
The Act on the Protection of Cultivated Plants (Plant Protection Act) serves to protect plants (especially cultivated plants) and plant products as well as human and animal health and the ecosystem.
The natural environment is understood to mean the interactions between soil, water and air (abiotic environment) and plants and animals of all kinds (biotic environment).
The Plant Protection Act also aims to implement European Community legislation in the field of plant protection law in order to ensure harmonization in the common internal market.According to the provisions of the Plant Protection Act, plant protection may only be carried out in accordance with good professional practice.
In order to counteract possible ecological and health risks, the reference to "good professional practice" assumes that a certain level of professional knowledge is required in order to carry out plant protection properly and effectively. Against this backdrop, the Plant Protection Act also standardizes restrictions on use and approval requirements for certain high-risk situations.
