GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6 GGAP-IFA-CropsBase-Production-PPP-IPM: GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v6 Crops Base (CB): Propagation, Soil, Water, IPM, PPP, Fertilizer and Harvest

GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v6 CROPS BASE (CB) module covers crop production from propagation to harvest + post-harvest. KEY CB CONTROL POINT FAMILIES: (a) CB 1 SITE MANAGEMENT (links AF) + soil + topography; (b) CB 2 PROPAGATION MATERIAL - variety selection + seed quality + GMO regulation compliance + seed-saved-on-farm; (c) CB 3 SOIL MANAGEMENT - soil health + erosion control + fumigation + nutrient management; (d) CB 4 FERTILIZER + SOIL AMENDMENTS - fertilizer application records + nutrient-management plan + organic + manure handling; (e) CB 5 WATER MANAGEMENT - water use + quality testing + irrigation + EU Water Framework Directive + SPRING add-on; (f) CB 6 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) - 8-step IPM framework + biological controls + monitoring + thresholds; (g) CB 7 PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS (PPP) - approved-list + application records + Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) + EU + Codex MRLs + buffer zones + storage + worker protection + PPE + drift management + PPP residue testing; (h) CB 8 HARVEST + HARVEST PRACTICES - timing + hygiene + tools + workers; (i) CB 9 POST-HARVEST HANDLING + STORAGE - cold chain + microbiological control + cross-contamination prevention; (j) CB 10 GMO + GENETIC ENGINEERING - GMO crop separation + labeling. PPP IS THE MOST INTENSIVE CB AREA - extensive auditor scrutiny; CB 7 ALONE has 25+ control points covering approved list + application + records + MRL compliance + drift + storage + container disposal + worker safety + re-entry intervals + harvest interval. KEY EU + CODEX REGULATIONS RELEVANT: EU Reg. 396/2005 (MRLs) + EU Reg. 1107/2009 (PPP authorisation) + Reg. 528/2012 (Biocides) + Codex MRLs + national-level. CB v6 ADDITIONS over v5: enhanced sustainability + IPM rigour + carbon + biodiversity + soil + water indicators.
