Draft resolution number 938, 5 November 2020, regarding the active ingredient T05 - TEBUTIUROM (tebuthiuron) of the Monograph List of Active Ingredients for Pesticides, Household Cleaning Products and Wood Preservers, published by Resolution (...)
This Draft resolution incorporates the following changes for the active ingredient T05 - TEBUTIUROM (tebuthiuron) (...) all in the modality of post-emergency use (application):
-includes the cane sugar culture with MRL of 1,0 mg/kg and safety security period "Not determined due to the modality of use (application)".

The scientific methodology used by Brazil to establish MRLs is consistent with international best practice. Countries set MRLs according to the good agricultural practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in food may differ from Codex standards.
Environment related objective
To account for the differences in environmental factors when determining the relevant Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for reducing the adverse consequences caused from the excessive use of chemical pesticides, household cleaning products and wood preservers.
