**Report Highlights:**

In January 2007, South Africa's citrus industry released the updated
recommended chemical application and maximum residue limits for citrus
produced in South Africa. Plant protection and consumption limits for
locally sold, exported, and imported citrus products are regulated under
Agricultural department's plant protection Act of 1947.

**Restrictions and recommended chemical limits for citrus plants in
South and Southern Africa**

South Africa's plant protection Act no. 36 of 1947 regulates the
compliance of maximum residue limits of registered chemical products on
all exports, imports and local citrus products. For the purpose of this
report, regulations specified below are mainly for imported and locally
produced and consumed citrus products.

The South African Act (1947) requires the product labels to specify the
withholding period for the plant protection treatment that will conform
to the residue limits. The restrictions apply to trees with fruit,
between blossoming and harvest. For example, plant protection products
for lemons, which have a multiple fruit setting patterns, may only be
used as specified during the first spring blossoming and fruit setting
period.

Pesticides used to protect trees with later fruit settings should not
result in unexpected residues on fruit on earlier fruit setting trees.
The restrictions specified for those trees should be applied in addition
to the current label requirements, at the period between harvest and the
onset of blossoming.
