The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for picarbutrazox notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1553 (dated 21 May 2024) was adopted 14 August 2024. The proposed MRLs were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:

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

0.01                      Dried shelled pea and bean (except soybean) (crop subgroup 6C);

                             cereal grains (crop group 15)²; rapeseeds (revised) (crop subgroup 20A)

¹ ppm = parts per million

² The MRL replaces the currently established MRLs of 0.01 ppm in/on field corn, popcorn grain, and sweet corn kernels plus cob with husks removed with a single crop group 15 MRL at the same value. This results in a single MRL that will be applicable to all commodities within crop group 15.

The commodities included in the listed crop groups/subgroups can be found on theResidue 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 section of the Canada.ca website.

MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit Database (https://pest-control.canada.ca/pesticide-registry/en/mrl-search.html) on the Maximum residue limits, human health, and food safety webpage (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/consumer-product-safety/pesticides-pest-management/public/protecting-your-health-environment/pesticides-food/maximum-residue-limits-pesticides.html). The database allows users to search for pesticides or for food commodities.
