Established Maximum Residue Limits: Fluazifop -butyl 
The proposed maximum residue limit ( PMRL) document for fluazifop -butyl notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/1229 (dated 10 December 2018) was adopted 25 February 2019. The proposed MRLs 
were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly

1.5 Green onions (crop subgroup 3 -07B) 
0.5 Bulb onions (crop subgroup 3 -07A, except dry bulb onions)2 
0.08 Caneberries (crop subgroup 13 -07A) 
1 ppm = parts per million  
2 Dry bulb onions are excluded from this MRL action as a 0.5 ppm MRL is already established for the commodity.

in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -
canada/se rvices/consumer -product -safety/pesticides -pest-management/public/protecting -your-
