The Crop Hierarchy This is the main hierarchy into which all approvals fit. The hierarchy is arranged in four levels. At the top level are three categories, All Edible Crops, All non edible crops and Non-Crop Production. Each of these is divided into a number of Primary groups into which all the Basic crops or situations are arranged. In some cases these are arranged into Parent Groups. The main function of the primary and parent groups is as an aid to database searching.

The ‘Situation for use’ specified on the Notice of Approval and also in the label’s ‘Statutory box/area’ will usually be defined by the relevant ‘Basic crop or situation’. However, in certain circumstances it may be possible to use primary or parent group terms or one of the ‘top level’ categories. If applicants wish to use these higher tier terms this should be specifically requested. PSD will assess the suitability of each request and advise on labelling accordingly.

The intended use may be restricted by the use of a ‘qualifier’ (e.g. ‘protected’), which will usually be specified in rounded brackets after the ‘Situation for use’ description. Examples of appropriate qualifiers are included after the Crop Hierarchy listings.

For certain products the situation for use (as required on safety grounds) may be wider than the intended use of the product e.g. a professional rose fungicide approved for use in ‘Ornamental plant production’. In such cases, if desired by the approval holder, a ‘clarification’ may be included in square brackets after the use description in the ‘Statutory box/area’ e.g. ‘Ornamental Plant production [roses]. Please note that this type of clarification would only usually apply to non-edible crops.

The hierarchy includes a definition for all crops and situations. Please note that these do not necessarily apply to terms used on notices of approval prior to the introduction of the crop hierarchy.

Changes to the crop hierarchy, for example to introduce novel crops, will be recorded on PSD's website.
