The alternative working group is working on an Excel spreadsheet or database of all the alternatives to imidacloprid for different crops. That provides an opportunity for growers to assess whether an alternative will really work in real life based on their experience, as well as understand whether other markets accept these alternatives. They will submit that database by the end of the consultation period, and that provides an opportunity to have the growers' perspectives on the alternatives available to growers.
