This workshop provides further insight in the ecotoxicological risk assessment of plant protection products. The workshop focusses on terrestrial ecotoxicology. A key topic is the implementation of the Birds & Mammals GD (2023) in October 2025, based on the current views and interpretation of the Ctgb. In addition, the workshop will address current issues for soil organisms, bees and non-target terrestrial plants. Each topic will be presented by a different ecotoxicology expert.
