Abstract
So called ’active substances’ (A.S.) which are allowed in Organic Production are regularly criticized for different reasons. Previously, although permitted in Organic Farming some substances were not approved under EU general plant protection products (PPP) regulation; therefore they were removed for their toxicity or exhibited characteristics (persistence, broad spectrum). Recent approbations under different new Articles of the EC regulation 1107/2009, gave rise to substances granted without maximum residue limits (MRL). We previously described approved basic substance (Art. 23) as potential candidates for organic farming; here we describe low risk substances (Art. 22) as new implements for substitution of controversial organic biopesticides and consequently as candidates for substitution (Art. 24).

Summary
Virus VC1 , Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain FZB24 , and Coniothyrium minitans strain CON/M/91-08 [12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. Initial candidates described be validated in the near future, as a natural substance or as as low-risk during their approval renewal include ferric substance obtained from micro-organism. Both substances phosphate and the Isaria fumorosea strain Apopka 97; were granted without maximum residue limits (MRL). The same criterion separate regulations [19], these substances of concern with was adopted for all types of active substances (chemical, ADI, ARfD or AOEL significantly lower than those of the micro-organism and semiochemicals) These specifica- majority of the approved active substances within groups tions were established and listed in the point 5 of Annex II of substances/use categories - with two of the criteria While copper compounds substances are granted with the “candidates for substitution”
