A number of active substances (components of crop protection agents) have recently been reassessed. In the environmental indicator system, active substances are categorised as ‘white’, ‘green’, ‘amber’ and ‘red’. White active ingredients have the least impact on the environment. In recent months, 32 active substances with the colours red and amber have been reassessed. As a result of the reassessment, the categories of some active substances may have changed due to the availability of more up-to-date information. If you use any of these active substances, their new classification could affect the number of qualification points you receive.

The following 32 substances have been reassessed. The new categories take effect as of 18 July 2022 (Period 8, 2022). The colour depends on the environmental zone in which the active substance is applied. From period 8 2022, the colours will be visible when you log in to the record-keeping environment.
