Regulations Amending the Food and Dr ug Regulations (1250 - Myclobutanil)
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), of Health Canada, has recently approved
an application to amend the registration of myclobutanil in order to allow its use for the control of
brown rot, leaf spot and powdery mildew on peppers.  This regulatory amendment will establishMaximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for residues of myclobutanil and its metabolites resulting from this
use in peppers.  This amendment will also establish MRLs in dried cherries and dried
peaches/nectarines, and in imported bananas, cucurbits (balsam apples, balsam pears, bitter melons,
cantaloupes, casaba melons, chayotes, Chinese cucumbers, Chinese waxgourds, citron melons,
crenshaw melons, cucumbers, golden persha w melons, gourds (edible), honey balls, honeydew
melons, mango melons, Persian melons, pineappl e melons, pumpkins, Santa Claus melons, snake
melons, summer squash, watermelons  and winter squash) and strawberries, in order to permit the sale
of food containing these residues.
After the review of all available data, the PM RA has determined that MRLs for myclobutanil,
including its metabolites, of 7 p.p.m. in dried peaches/nectarines, 4 p.p.m. in dried cherries, 2 p.p.m.
in bananas, 1 p.p.m. in peppers, 0.5 p.p.m. in strawberries and 0.3 p.p.m. in cucurbits would not posean unacceptable health risk to the public.
