Peer Review Panel date: April 9, 2014 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to convey usage information and a broad overview of the pest management roles of pesticides that are beginning to undergo registration review. The anticipated audience consists ofthe team ofEPA staff curr ently evalua ting the registration stat us of tebufenpyrad, and eventually the general public. This document builds upon the data already
1provided in the LUIS label report that is also provided to Registration Review teams by BEAD. The document is based on information and data available to BEAD as of March 27, 2014. Tebufenpyrad is a miticide/insecticide for use on non-edible ornamental plants grown in commercial greenhouses. It targets some mites, aphids, whiteflies, and mealybugs. There is no evidence that this product has been marketed in the United States.


### COMMON FORMULATIONS AND APPLICATION METHODS It is registered as an emulsifiable concentrate. It may be applied with hydraulic, backpack, compressed air, low volume, electrostatic, and other types of sprayers. 

### USAGE There are no reported usage data for this chemical in proprietary or California Department of Pesticide Regulation databases. 

### HISTORY OF TEBUFENPYRAD and BEAD PRODUCTS Tebufenpyrad (Trade Names: MasaiTM, PyranicaTM, PestanalTM ,) is an insecticide registered for use in the United States in 2002 and in the U.K., Australia and Japan primarily as an Acaricide. There are no records of prior BEAD benefit assessments or reviews of emergency exemption requests for tebufenpyrad.


### DATA NEEDS RELEVANT TO BEAD'S FUTURE WORK ON TEBUFENPYRAD Obtaining information on the following items would improve future BEAD assess ments of the importance of tebufenpyrad and may be required as part of the registration review of this pesticide. Should the registrant decide to manufacture this product for sale in the United States, It would be helpful for BEAD to know the amount of chemical expected to be used or being used in commercial greenhouses, the application rate, the number of applications, the percent crop treated, the total amount applied, the geographic locations of the greenhouses (states where it is used), the specific pests targeted, and the specific agricultural and horticultural sites (ornamentals) to which it is being applied.
