Saflufenacil

Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has received applications to register technical grade saflufenacil and the end-use products Eragon, Heat WG and Integrity for use in Canada on barley, chickpeas, corn, lentils, oats, dry field peas, soybeans and wheat. Before registering a pesticide for food use in Canada, the PMRA must determine the quantity of residues that are likely to remain in or on the food when the pesticide is used according to label directions and that such residues will not be a concern to human health. The evaluation of these saflufenacil applications indicated that the end-use products have merit and value and that the human health and environmental risks associated with their proposed uses are acceptable. In addition, the PMRA is proposing to establish import MRLs for saflufenacil on legume vegetables, citrus fruits, pome fruits, stone fruits, tree nuts, grapes, sunflower seeds and undelinted cotton seeds to permit the import and sale of food containing these residues. This paper reviews the level of legally established maximum residual level (MRLs) of saflufenacil in or on food, to be added to the MRLs already legally established, as well as a table on proposed maximum residue limits for saflufenacil and an appendix of crop groups by number and definitions.--Includes text from document.
