The Drafts provide that the approval of the active substances benfluralin and benalaxyl are not renewed and, therefore, existing authorized plant protection products containing these substances will be withdrawn from the market. These decisions do not affect the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for residues of these pesticides. However, following the non-approval, separate actions may be taken on the MRLs.
The deadline for comments on benfluralin is July 5, 2020; on benalaxyl it is July 13, 2020.
Currently, the MRL for benfluralin in tree nuts, apricots, plums, grapes, cranberries, dates, figs and peanuts is 0.02* ppm. The MRL for benalaxyl in tree nuts, apricots, plums, cranberries, dates, figs and peanuts is 0.05* ppm; and in grapes is 0.3 ppm.
*Indicates lower limit of determination.
