Established Maximum Residue Limit: Trifloxystrobin
Description
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for trifloxystrobin notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1023 (dated 31 May 2016) was adopted 23 August 2016. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:
MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
30 Leafy greens (Crop Subgroup 4A), Leafy Brassica greens (Crop Subgroup 5B)
9.01 Leaf petioles (Crop Subgroup 4B)
2.0 Head and stem Brassica (Crop Subgroup 5A)
0.062 Dried shelled pea and bean (Crop Subgroup 6C, except soybeans)
0.053 Cereal grains (Crop Group 15, except sweet corn, rice, and sorghum)
ppm = parts per million
1 The new crop subgroup MRL will replace the existing crop subgroup MRL of 3.5 ppm
2 The new MRL of 0.06 ppm (to cover trifloxystrobin and the acid metabolite CGA-321113) will replace the existing MRL of 0.02 ppm (to cover trifloxystrobin), based on the new foliar use pattern.
3 The MRL is proposed to be extended to the entire cereal grains crop group 15.
MRLs are established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database (http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php) on the Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/mrl-lmr-eng.php). The database allows users to search for pesticide(s) or for food commodity(ies).
