Canada determines continued registration of fungicide dimethomorph
Feb. 20, 2020
Dimethomorph is important for the management of potato late blight tuber rot, and sudden oak death on many high value outdoor, container and field grown ornamental plants in nurseries and landscape plantings, especially considering the limited number of registered alternatives for these diseases. Due to its protectant and antisporulant activity, and lower risk for resistance development, dimethomorph is valued as a rotational product in disease management programs.
With respect to human health, risks are considered acceptable for all dimethomorph uses when used according to the revised label directions.
Dimethomorph enters the environment when used to control moulds on a variety of agricultural food and feed crops and outdoor ornamentals, or when it is present in water discharges from use in greenhouses. When used according to revised label directions, environmental risks associated with the use of dimethomorph are considered acceptable.
Health Canada has completed the re-evaluation of dimethomorph. Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada has determined that continued registration of products containing dimethomorph is acceptable. An evaluation of available scientific information found that uses of dimethomorph products meet current standards for protection of human health and the environment when used according to revised label directions.
