Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Pendimethalin (PMRL2020-16)

The objective of the notified document PMRL2020-16 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limit (MRL) for pendimethalin that has been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).MRL (ppm)1                 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity0.1                            Bulb onions (crop subgroup 3-07A, except dry bulb onions)21 ppm = parts per million2 Dry bulb onions are excluded from this MRL action as a 0.1 ppm MRL is already established for the commodity.

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.
