Notice. We only list the chemical agents from Regulation 2023/689.
1) COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/515
2) COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/689
For the active substance abamectin (CAS No. 71751-41-2), an 80:20 mixture of avermectin B1a and avermectin B1b, the ARfD is 0.005 mg/kg body weight. The active substance is authorised for use in greenhouses in 27 Member States. There are seasonal restrictions on use. Abamectin is acaricidal and insecticidal (i.e. against mites and insects) and is also effective against nematodes.
For the listed chemical active substances (except abamectin), applications for renewal of the authorisations were submitted which could not be decided in time. If the application is rejected for active substances, the expiry dates can be shortened.
The currently valid maximum residue limits continue to apply.
YOUR PLUS: We test for abamectin residues as part of our multi-pesticide screening methods in fruit and vegetables. In addition, we also offer a screening package for the entire group of avermectins used in veterinary medicine against worms and ectoparasites in cattle. The other active substances mentioned are also included in our screening packages.
