Field Studies

Field studies are essential tools in higher pesticide risk assessment, offering information on the environmental risk of pesticides under realistic conditions.  The session will cover all aspects related to the design, execution, evaluation and interpretation of field studies; including strategies addressing the representativeness of field studies for risk assessment and the implementation of ecosystem services approaches in the field.

In addition, the session will specifically consider the role of field studies in connecting laboratory studies with landscape modelling and monitoring, the design of integrated testing strategies, improvements in the ecological relevance of the exposure scenarios, and the use of field information for mapping risks.  The natural environmental field variability and the integration of the exposure and effect assessments will be addressed through the use of ecoregion and ecotype approaches to deal with the complexity and diversity of ecosystems and their services. Abstracts exploring the use of field studies results for defining specific protection goals and calibrating the lower and medium tier scenarios are also welcomed.
