Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Tetraconazole (PMRL2020-37)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2020-37 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for tetraconazole that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

An MRL is proposed 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.
