Content of selected pesticide products OK
Dec. 25, 2008
Five different groups of products covered by the pesticide regulation were included in the 2007 analytical chemical authority control:
1. Herbicides containing cycloxydim, diflufenican and triflusulfuron-methyl.
2. Fungicides containing boscalid, dimethomorph, epoxiconazole, fenpropimorph, mancozeb and propamocarb.
3. Insecticides containing fipronil.
4. Plant growth regulators containing daminozide.
5. Insect repellents containing icaridin.
Satisfactory results were found for all examined pesticide formulations. Thus, the analysed samples of these formulations complied with the accepted tolerance limits with respect to the content of the active ingredients as specified in Danish Statutory Order on pesticides.
None of the examined samples contained octylphenol ethoxylates or nonylphenol ethoxylates.
On the label of seven products, the content of active ingredient was declared only in g/L or g/Kg, but not in % (w/w) as required by the Statutory Order.
