US EPA revises MRL for thiram in avocadoes
Jul. 6, 2015
The US EPA has increased tolerance level for fungicide thiram from 8 ppm to 15 ppm in (or on) avocadoes concerning the risk posed by thiram to humans. The change entered into force on 19 June 2015.
Thiram (tetramethylthiuram dissulfide) belongs to a group of dithiocarbamate fungicides. It is used as a seed protectant and foliar treatment on fruits, vegetables, ornamentals and turf crops to control a number of fungal diseases, as well as to protect harvested crops from deterioration by fungal infection during storage and transport.
