Established Maximum Residue Limit: Pyraclostrobin  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) d ocument for pyraclostrobin notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/1028 (dated 6 June 2016) was adopted 25 August 2016. The proposed MRLs were 
established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm ) Raw Agricultural Commo dity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
200 Dried herbs (Crop Group 19A)  
40 Crop group 2 (leaves of root and tuber vegetables, except garden beet tops and 
radish tops1, 2), fresh herbs (crop group 19A), dill seeds, fresh chive leaves  
3.0 American persimmons,  globe artichokes  
2.5 Crop group 12 -09 (stone fruits)3

banana5 (Crop subgroup 24B)6, mamey sapotes, sapodillas, sorghum  
0.45 Undelinted cotton seeds  
0.3 Green coffee beans  
0.2 Sugarcane cane  
ppm = parts per million  
1 Garden beet tops and radish tops are excluded from this MRL action as a 40 ppm MRL is already established 
for these commodities.  
2 The new MRL of 40 ppm in/on Crop Group 2 - Leaves of Root an d Tuber Vegetables, will replace the existing 
MRL of 16 ppm in/on turnip tops and celeriac tops.  
3 The new MRL of 2.5 ppm in/on Crop Group 12 -09 - Stone Fruits, will replace the existing MRL of 0.7 ppm 
in/on apricots, fresh prune plums, nectarines, peaches , plumcots, plums, sweet cherries and tart cherries.  
4 The new MRL of 1.4 ppm in/on barley will replace the existing MRL of 0.4 ppm in/on  barley.  
5 Bananas are excluded from this MRL action as a 0.04 ppm MRL is currently established for this commodity.  
6 The new MRL of 0.6 ppm in/on Crop Subgroup 24B will replace the existing MRL of 0.1 ppm for mango and 
papaya.  
MRLs are established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with 
the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/protect -
proteger/food -nourriture/rccg -gcpcr -eng.php ) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of 
Health Can ada's website.  
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit 
Database  (http://pr -rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl -lrm/index -eng.php ) on the Maximum Residue Limits for 
Pesticides  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/protect -proteger/food -
