Key points Since our latest news in December 2021, we are highlighting some significant changes affecting five active substances (acequinocyl, Bacillus subtilis strain IAB/BS03, emamectin, flutolanil, and imazamox) used in crop protection (Reg. (EU) 2021/2202). In particular, emamectin is important and widely used in ACP horticulture. The latest changes involve an increase in MRLs for peaches and kiwi fruits. The new Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for peaches is 0.15 mg/kg (previously 0.03 mg/kg) and for kiwis the new MRL is… +EU approval not renewed for four key PPPs and other changes notified to WTO

Key points Famoxadone is no longer approved within the European Union (EU) as of September 2021. EU approval was not renewed for acrinathrin, prochloraz and indoxacarb and will expire at the end of December 2021. The EU has also notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its intention to adapt the conditions of approval of sulfoxaflor. How will ACP producers/exporters be affected? Non-renewal means that these PPPs can no longer be legally used within EU countries. This also has an… +EU MRL changes for 83 PPPs in 2021

This may mean adapting production practices (good agricultural practices, GAP) or using alternative control methods. This news also includes a complete list of the MRL changes introduced so far in 2020. If you… +
