Division 2.1.1 Identity of the micro-organism in the plant protection product

The identity of the micro-organism should be clearly established. It must be ensured that the appropriate data are provided to allow for checking the identity of the micro-organism at strain level in the plant protection product.

The identity of the micro-organism shall be evaluated on the strain level. Where the micro-organism is either a mutant or a genetically modified organism^f1, the specific differences from other strains within the same species must be recorded. Occurrence of resting stages must be recorded.

The deposition of the strain at an internationally recognised culture collection must be checked.
