Established Maximum Residue Limit: Difenoconazole

The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for difenoconazole notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1016 (dated 22 April 2016) was adopted 18 July 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
4.0 CSG 13-07B (Bushberries), except gooseberries1, 2
ppm = parts per million
1 Gooseberries will remain covered under the MRL of 4.0 ppm which is currently being promulgated for CSG 13-07F (Small fruit vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit) given that the MRL proposed with the current review for CSG 13-07B is also 4.0 ppm.
2 As a result of the current review, the MRL for lowbush blueberries and lingonberries, currently established at 2.5 ppm under CSG 13-07G (Low growing berries), will be replaced by the proposed MRL of 4.0 ppm for CSG 13-07B (except gooseberries).

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).
