Canada approves several BASF’s Revysol-based fungicide products

Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations, is granting registration for the sale and use of Revysol Fungicide Technical (mefentrifluconazole), BAS 752 RC, Belyan, Cevya, Lenvyor, Maxtima, and Relenya, containing the technical grade active ingredient mefentrifluconazole, to control various fungal pests in field crops, fruits, specialty crops and golf course turf.

 

This decision is consistent with the Proposed Registration Decision PRD2019-09, Mefentrifluconazole and related end-use products, which contains a detailed evaluation of the information submitted in support of this registration. The evaluation found that, under the approved conditions of use, the health and environmental risks and the value of the pest control product(s) are acceptable.

 

Mefentrifluconazole is a new conventional active ingredient for disease management in certain field crops, fruits, specialty crops and golf course turf. It inhibits spore germination, mycelial growth, and sporulation of the fungus on the leaf surface. Mefentrifluconazole is a systemic and selective fungicide. BASF’s Revysol (mefentrifluconazole) has received registrations in the EU, the Americas, and South Korea with further registrations in Asia Pacific anticipated soon, covering over 40 crops.
