Pesticide fluazinam in or on cucurbit vegetables and grapes (ICS codes: 65.020, 65.100, 67.040, 67.080)

Proposed Maximum Residue Limit: Fluazinam (PMRL2023-07). Language(s): English and French. Number of pages: 8

The objective of the notified document PMRL2023-07 is to consult on the listed maximum residue limits (MRLs) for fluazinam that have been proposed by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

MRL (ppm)¹  Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity

3.0               Grapes

0.07             Cucurbit vegetables (crop group 9)²

¹ ppm = parts per million

² While there are MRLs currently established for commodities within crop subgroup 9A (melon) at 0.07 ppm, the MRLs will be expanded to cover all commodities within crop group 9 (cucurbit vegetables). Hence a crop group MRL for cucurbit vegetables is being proposed, while the current MRLs for individual commodities within crop subgroup 9A will be expired.
