Established Maximum Residue Limit: Difenoconazole

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for difenoconazole, notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1370 (dated 11 February 2021) and G/SPS/N/CAN/1370/Corr.1 (dated 17 March 2021), was adopted 10 May 2021. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity8.0 Garden beet tops0.6 Root vegetable (crop subgroup 1A)21ppm = parts per million2 This MRL replaces the current MRLs for carrot and sugar beet roots.An MRL is established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/residue-chemistry-crop-groups.html) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of the Canada.ca website.MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Databasehttp://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/maximum-residue-limits-pesticides.html). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
