Productive horticulture processesCONVENTIONAL• Every tool available under current regulations (there are not many controls for compliance)• Regulatory framework (authorized products maximum residue limits) SENASA Res. 934/10 an For Minor crops

SENASA Res. 608/2010.

ORGANIC, BIOLOGICAL OR ECOLOGICAL• Specific Organic Protocols and certifications• Res. SAGPyA 374/2016 and 291/2012 homologated with UE.

GAP: GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES• Specific protocols, but “generals” and privates

INTEGRATED PRODUCT (DERIVED FROM INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT)• Few products derived from Integrated Pest Management, without marks or labels, availability was sporadic

- Bad use of pesticides- Use of fresh manure- Higyene and security

- Lack of record keeping- Desinformation

#RUCAPS, #RUCAPS2020, www.ruc-aps.eu

Good Agriculture PracticesAre Agricultural Practices that are supported by scientific andtechnical knowledge, which applied to agriculture in a certaintemporal and spatial place achieve sustainable production,understanding as such that which can be perpetuated over timeand has environmental, economic and social stability andguarantee quality and food safety.Argentina:Since 2017, they have been incorporated into theArgentine Food Code for mandatory compliance withGAP: 1-0047-2110-4246-17-4. The standard establishes adeadline to comply with the requirement from January 2,2020 for the fruit sector and on January 4, 2021 for thehorticultural sector.

Water problems in La Plata

1. Water analyses must be done, frequently

2. Prevention of microbiological contaminationmust be a rule

#RUCAPS, #RUCAPS2020, www.ruc-aps.eu

Amendments and fertilizers

1. The fresh manure must be composted, or replaced2. Soil analyses must be done.3. Requirements of crop nutrients must be known

#RUCAPS, #RUCAPS2020, www.ruc-aps.eu

Integrated Pests Management• Agrochemicals• Biological control• Colateral effect of pesticides• Monitoring• Traps• Organic production

Pesticides Problematic• The National Standard for the use of agrochemicals in horticultural

crops frequently is not known (Res. 934/2010, Res. 608/2012,Ley27279/2016; Dec. Reg.134/2018)

Caractherization of pesticides:Human health: Information about human toxicity, and waiting time

Safety workers clothes: The pesticides applications are done without protection

Environment: Impact on natural enemies, birds, bees, algae and earthworms.

Records keeping, data management andtraceability.• - farm maps and names of production plots

• - batch and / or parcel history.

• - soil works.

• - implantation dates, crops, varieties.

• - soil and water analysis (date and diagnosis).

• - application of fertilizers, amendments, fertilizers and agrochemicalapplications.

• - stock of agrochemicals.

• - harvests

• - cleaning of different places and objects:toilets, packing shed, machinery, machinery calibration,merchandise transport vehicles.

• - sales
