on
behalf
of
the
Agricultural
Experiment
Stations
of
AZ,
CA,

for
an

a
50%
kresoxim­
methyl
dry­
flowable
(
DF)
formulation,
for
use
on
cucurbit

requests
the
establishment
of
a

Kresoxim­
methyl
belongs
to
the
Quinone
Outside
Inhibitor
(
QoI)
class
of
fungicides.
It
inhibits
mitochondrial
respiration
by
blocking
electron
transfer
at
the
bc1
complex
in
fungi.
The
protective
effect
is
due
to
the
inhibition
of
both
spore
germination
and
host
infection.
The
curative
and
eradicative
effects
are
the
result
of
kresoxim­
methyl's
inhibition
of
mycelial
growth
and
sporulation.
This
is
the
second
food­
use
application
for
kresoxim­
methyl.
The
first
food­
use
registration
for
this
active
ingredient
(
a.
i.)
on
pome
fruits,
grapes,
and
pecans
was
conditionally
approved
through
PP#
7F04880
(
D255097;
T.
Bloem,
4/
12/
1999).

The
50%
DF
formulation
is
to
be
used
for
multiple
foliar
sprays
on
cucurbit
vegetables
for
the
control
of
powdery
mildew
and
gummy
stem
blight.
Up
to
six
foliar
treatments
may
be
made,
with
retreatment
intervals
of
7­
10
days,
at
a
maximum
single
application
rate
of
0.15
lb
ai/
A.
The
label
specifies
a
maximum
seasonal
rate
of
0.9
lb
ai/
A,
and
a
preharvest
interval
(
PHI)
of
0
days.

The
nature
of
the
residues
in
pome
fruits,
grapes
and
wheat
is
adequately
understood.
The
major
metabolic
pathway
for
kresoxim­
methyl
in
the
above
crops
is
the
isomerization
to
its
Z­
isomer
(
a
minor
component)
or
hydrolysis
of
the
ester
to
the
acid
(
BF
490­
1).
This
acid
metabolite
oxidizes
at
one
of
the
three
positions
on
the
cresyl
ring
to
yield
BF
490­
2,
BF
490­
9,
and/
or
BF
490­
15.
All
of
the
hydroxylated
metabolites
undergo
conjugation
with
glucose.
There
is
no
apparent
cleavage
of
the
two
rings.

The
Metabolism
Assessment
Review
Committee
(
MARC)
previously
determined
that
the
available
plant
metabolism
studies
are
sufficient
for
the
registration
of
kresoxim­
methyl
on
pome
fruits,
grapes,
pecans,
and
related
crops
(
fruit
or
fruiting
vegetables).
The
MARC
also
determined
that
the
tolerance
expression
for
kresoxim­
methyl
in/
on
pome
fruits,
grapes
and
pecans
will
include
kresoxim­
methyl,
BF
490­
1,
BF
490­
2
(
free
and
glucose
conjugated)
and
BF
490­
9
(
free
and
glucose
conjugated).
The
kresoxim­
methyl
tolerances
established
in
40
CFR
§
180.554
for
apple
pomace,
pome
fruit,
grape,
raisin,
and
pecans
are
expressed
as
above.
It
is
noted
that
the
metabolite
BF
490­
1
is
included
in
the
tolerance
expression
because
the
analytical
methods
do
not
distinguish
between
kresoxim­
methyl
and
BF
490­
1.

The
nature
of
the
residues
in
rotational
crops
is
adequate
pending
submission
of
supporting
sample
storage
stability
information/
data.
In
the
submitted
confined
rotational
crop
study,
total
radioactive
residues
(
TRR)
accumulated
at
 
0.01
ppm
in
all
rotated
crops
(
radish,
Swiss
chard,
and
sorghum)
planted
14/
28,
91,
or
210/
245
days
following
four
applications
of
[
14C]
kresoximmethyl
for
a
total
rate
of
1.2
lb
ai/
A
(
1.3x).
The
parent,
kresoxim­
methyl,
was
not
detected
in/
on
any
rotational
crop
commodity
at
any
plantback
interval
(
PBI).
The
major
residue
components
identified
in
rotational
crop
commodities
were
the
glucosides
of
490
M2
and
490
M9.
These
conjugated
metabolites,
490
M2
and
490
M9,
are
converted
to
their
unconjugated
metabolites
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
following
enzyme
hydrolysis.
The
metabolic
pathway
of
kresoxim­
methyl
in
rotational
crops
involves
the
initial
cleavage
of
the
acid
ester
to
the
free
acid
(
490
M1),
the
oxidation
of
the
A
ring
to
form
hydroxylated
products
(
490
M2
and
490
M9),
the
conjugation
of
these
hydroxylated
products
to
glucose
(
490­
B
and
490­
C),
and
the
final
incorporation
of
these
metabolites
into
natural
products.

The
requirements
for
livestock
metabolism
data,
analytical
enforcement
methodology
for
livestock
commodities,
storage
stability
data
for
livestock
commodities,
and
magnitude
of
the
residue
data
in
meat,
milk,
poultry
and
eggs
are
not
relevant
to
this
petition
because
there
are
no

There
is
an
adequate
analytical
methodology
for
tolerance
enforcement
of
regulated
residues
in/
on
plant
commodities.
BASF
Methods
350/

US
and
D9611A
are
high­
performance
liquid
chromatography
(
HPLC)/
column­
switching
methods
with
ultraviolet
(
UV)
detection
(
270
nm)
which
have
been
determined
to
meet
Agency
guidelines
for
the
enforcement
of
kresoxim­

US
converts
glucose
conjugates
of
BF
490­
B
and
BF
490­
C
to
their
unconjugated
forms
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9,
respectively,
following
enzyme
hydrolysis.
The
parent,
kresoxim­
methyl,
is
converted
to
the
acid
metabolite
BF
490­
1
following
enzymatic
cleavage
and
base
hydrolysis.
The
metabolite
BF
490­
1
is
measured
as
kresoxim­
methyl
equivalents.

The
methods
have
been
forwarded
to
FDA
for
publication
as
Roman
numeral
methods
in
the
Pesticide
Analytical
Manual
(
PAM)
Volume
II.
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US
will
be
designated
as
Method
I
and
has
been
determined
to
be
applicable
for
pome
fruits,
apple
pomace,
grapes,
and
raisins;
this
method
will
also
be
suitable
for
cucurbit
vegetables.
BASF
Method
D9611A
will
be
designated
as
Method
II
and
is
applicable
for
pecans.
The
limit
of
quantitation
(
LOQ)
is
0.05
ppm
for
each
analyte
(
BF
490­
1,
BF
490­
2,
and
BF
490­
9).
The
limit
of
detection
(
LOD)
is
described
as
about
0.025
ppm
for
each
analyte.

Samples
collected
from
the
submitted
field
trials,
storage
stability,
and
field
rotational
crop
studies
were
analyzed
for
residues
of
kresoxim­
methyl
and
its
metabolites
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
using
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US
or
a
slightly
modified
version
of
the
method.
Concurrent
method
recoveries
were
well
within
the
acceptable
range
of
70­
120%.

Adequate
storage
stability
data
are
available
to
support
the
storage
conditions
and
intervals
of
crop
commodity
samples
collected
from
cucurbit
field
trials
as
well
as
from
the
limited
field

crop
study.
There
are
no
storage
stability
issues
or
corrections
that
may
need
to
be
applied
to
the
various
residue
studies.

Adequate
field
trial
data
are
available
for
cantaloupes,
cucumbers,
and
summer
squash,
which
are
the
representative
crops
of
cucurbit

and
<
0.340

The
parent
accounted
for
the
majority
of
the
combined

in/
on
treated
samples
were
0.220
ppm
for
cantaloupes,
0.120
ppm
for
cucumbers,
and
0.240
ppm
for

in/
on
all
treated
samples
collected
at
a

Based
on
these
data,
the
recommended
tolerance
level
for
kresoxim­
methyl
on
"
Vegetable,

is
0.40
ppm.

An
acceptable
limited
field
rotational
crop
study
with
kresoxim­
methyl
is
available.
Representative
rotational
crops
of
cabbage
(
leafy
vegetable),
radish
(
root
vegetable),
and
wheat
(
cereal
grain)
were
planted
at
intervals
of
~
14,
30,
and
45
days
after
the
primary
crop
(
cucumbers)
was
treated
at
~
1.2x
and
harvested
at
maturity.
Only
residues
of
the
glycoside
metabolites
(
BF
490­

were
measured
in
this
limited

of
23
metabolites
were
the
predominant
residues
identified
in
the
confined
rotational
crop
study.
The
results
indicate
that
at
a
PBI
of
14
days,
residues
of
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
were
each
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.05

in/
on
cabbage
(
with
and
without
wrapper
leaves),
radish
roots
and
tops,
and
wheat
forage,
hay,
straw,
and
grain.
Because
residues
were
below
the
LOQ
in
all
samples
of
rotated
crop
commodities
from
the
14­
day
PBI,
samples
from
later
PBIs
were
not
analyzed.
Based
on
these
data,
HED
concludes
that
tolerances
for
rotational
crop
commodities
are
not
required
for
the
purpose
of
this
petition
provided
the
label
for

However,
based
on
the
results
of

Nature
of
the
Residue
­
Plants
The
nature
of
the
residues
in
plants
is
adequately
understood
based
on
acceptable
metabolism
studies
conducted
on
pome
fruits,
grapes,
and
wheat
(
PP#
7F04880;
D255097,
4/
12/
1999,
T.
Bloem).
The
major
metabolic
pathway
for
kresoxim­
methyl
in
pome
fruits,
grapes
and
wheat
is
isomerization
to
its
Z­
isomer
(
a
minor
component)
or
hydrolysis
of
the
ester
to
the
acid
(
BF
490­
1).
This
acid
metabolite
oxidizes
at
one
of
the
three
positions
on
the
cresyl
ring
to
yield
BF
490­
2,
BF
490­
9,
and/
or
BF
490­
15.
All
of
the
hydroxylated
metabolites
undergo

glucose.
There
is
no
apparent
cleavage
of
the
two
rings.

The
HED
MARC
determined
that
the
submitted
plant
metabolism
studies
are
sufficient
for
registration
of
kresoxim­
methyl
on
pome
fruits,
grapes
and
pecans
and
related
crops
(
fruit
or
fruiting
vegetables).
The
grain
metabolism
study
would
cover
registration
on
grain
crops.
If
the
petitioner
wishes
to
register
uses
on
root
crops
or
leafy
vegetables,
then
additional
plant
metabolism
studies
may
be
necessary.
The
MARC
determined
that
the
tolerance
expression
for
kresoxim­
methyl
in/
on
pome
fruits,
grapes
and
pecans
will
include
kresoxim­
methyl,
BF

(

and

Residue
Analytical
Methods
There
is
adequate
analytical
methodology
for
tolerance
enforcement
of
regulated
residues
in/
on
plant
commodities.
BASF
Methods
350/
3­
US
and
D9611A
are
HPLC/
column­
switching
methods
with
UV
detection
(
270
nm)
which
have
been
determined
to
meet
Agency
guidelines
for
the
enforcement
of
kresoxim­
methyl
tolerances
on
plant
commodities.
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US
converts
glucose
conjugates
of
BF
490­
B
and
BF
490­
C
to
their
unconjugated
forms
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9,
respectively,
following
enzyme
hydrolysis.
The
parent,
kresoxim­
methyl,
is
converted
to
the
acid
metabolite
BF
490­
1
following
enzymatic
cleavage
and
base
hydrolysis.
The
metabolite
BF
490­
1
is
measured
as
kresoxim­
methyl
equivalents.

The
methods
have
been
forwarded
to
FDA
for
publication
as
Roman
numeral
methods
in
the
Pesticide
Analytical
Manual
(
PAM)
Volume
II.
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US
will
be
designated
as
Method
I
and
has
been
determined
to
be
applicable
for
pome
fruits,
apple
pomace,
grapes,
and
raisins;
this
method
will
also
be
suitable
for
cucurbit
vegetables.
BASF
Method
D9611A
will
be
designated
as
Method
II
and
is
applicable
for
pecans.
The
LOQ
is
0.05
ppm
for
each
analyte
(
BF
490­
1,
BF
490­
2,
and
BF
490­
9).
The
LOD
is
about
0.025
ppm
for
each
analyte.

Samples
collected
from
the
submitted
field
trials,
storage
stability,
and
field
rotational
crop
studies
were
analyzed
for
residues
of
kresoxim­

and
its
metabolites
BF

and
BF
490­
9
using
BASF
Method
350/

US
or
a
slightly
modified
version
of
the
method.
Concurrent
method
recoveries
were
well
within
the
acceptable
range
of
70­
120%.

860.1360
Multiresidue
Methods
The
data
requirements
for
multiresidue
methods
are
fulfilled.
It
was
reported
in
PP#

Bloem)
that
acceptable
recoveries
and
standard
deviations
were
achieved
with
protocols
D,
E,
and
F
for
kresoxim­
methyl.
Recoveries
for
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
were
low
or
variable.
BF
490­

was
recovered
well
through

Additionally,
none
of

has
submitted
the
results
of
a

of
cucumber
were
fortified
with
kresoxim­

at
1.0
ppm
and
then
stored
frozen
(<­
10

were
previously
reported
and
reviewed
in
conjunction
with
a
previous
petition
on
apples
and
grapes
(
PP#
7F4880;
D255097,
T.
Bloem,
4/
12/

Untreated
samples
of
grapes,
apples,
apple

and
apple
juice
were
fortified
with
kresoxim­
methyl
at
1.0
ppm
and
then
stored
frozen
(<­

of
grapes
and
apples
were
each
fortified
with
BF

at
0.258­
0.393
ppm
and
with
BF
490­
C
at
0.332­
0.504
ppm;
these
samples
were
also
stored
frozen
(<­
10

after
spiking.
At
storage
intervals
of
0,
2,
6,
12,
and
26
months,
subsamples
of
the
fortified

were
taken
for
analysis
using
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US,
an
HPLC
method
with
UV

The
method
is
adequate
for
data
collection
based
on
acceptable
concurrent
method

data.
The
results
indicate
that
fortified
residues
of
kresoxim­
methyl
are
stable
under
frozen
storage
conditions
for
up
to
26
months
in/
on
grapes
and
for
12
months
in/
on
apples,
wet

Conclusions.
The
residue

for
cantaloupes,
cucumbers,
and
summer
squash,
which
are
the
representative
crops
of
the
cucurbit
vegetable
crop
group,
are
adequate
and
are
supported
by
adequate
storage

data.
The
data­
collection
method
used
for
the
analysis
of
the
residues
of
concern
in/
on
treated
samples
is
also
adequate.
The
results
indicate
that
when
the
50%
DF
formulation
of
kresoxim­
methyl
is
applied
according
to
the
maximum
proposed
label
use
pattern
on
cantaloupes,
cucumbers,
and
summer
squash,
the
proposed
tolerance
of
0.5
ppm
will
not
be
exceeded.
However,
the
petitioner
should
submit
a
revised
Section
F
to
specify
the
HEDassessed
tolerance
of
0.40
ppm
for
the
combined

BASF
Corporation
has
submitted
a
confined
rotational
crop
study
with
kresoxim­
methyl.
The
radiolabeled
test
substance,
[
14C]
kresoxim­
methyl
[
labeled
uniformly
in
the
benzyl
(
B)
ring,
specific
activity
of
6.28
MBq/
mg],
was
mixed
with
methanol/
water
and
applied
to
bare
sandy
loam
soil
in
eight
planting
containers
at
0.3
lb
ai/
A/
application.
Four
applications
were
made
at
7­
day
intervals
for
a
total
rate
of
1.2
lb
ai/
A.
Radish,
Swiss
chard,
and
sorghum
were
planted
in
the
treated
soil
as
rotational
crops
at
PBIs
of
14/
28,
91,
210/
245,
and
394/
423/
434
days.

TRR,
expressed
as
kresoxim­
methyl
equivalents,
accumulated
at
 
0.01
ppm
in
all
rotated
crops
planted
14/
28,
91,
or
210/
245
days
following
applications
of
[
benzyl­
UL­
14C]
kresoxim­
methyl
to
bare
soil
for
a
total
application
rate
of
1.2
lb
ai/
A.
Overall,
TRR
were
highest
from
the
14/
28­
day
PBI
and
subsequently
decreased
at
later
PBIs.
At
the
14­
day
PBI,
residues
were
0.858
and
0.612
ppm
in
radish
tops
and
roots,
respectively,
0.496
ppm
in
sorghum
forage,
0.597
ppm
in
sorghum
fodder,
and
0.156
ppm
in
sorghum
seed.
At
the
28­
day
PBI,
residues
were
0.384
ppm
for
Swiss
chard.
At
the
91­
day
PBI,
residues
were
0.197
and
0.182
ppm
in
radish
tops
and
roots,
respectively,
0.339
ppm
in
Swiss
chard,
and
0.054­
0.096
ppm
in
sorghum
forage,
fodder,
and
seed.
At
the
210­
day
PBI,
residues
were
0.013­
0.033
ppm
in
radish
tops
and
roots,
and
Swiss
chard.
At
the
245­
day
PBI,
residues
were
0.010­
0.014
ppm
in
sorghum
forage,
fodder,
and
seed.
At
the
394/
423/
434­
day
PBI,
TRR
were
<
0.01
ppm
in
all
rotated
crops.

In
general,
the
fractionation
procedures
used
to
characterize/
identify
residues
resulted
in
three
fractions:
organic
extract
(
dichloromethane
(
DCM)/
ethyl
acetate
(
EtOAc)),
methanol/
water
extract,
and
0.1
N
HCl
hydrolysate.
Residue
characterization
of
rotational
crops
focused
on
the
earliest
PBIs
(
14/
28
and
91
day)
since
they
bore
the
greatest
amount
of
residues.
Samples
from
the
210/
245­
day
PBI
were
extracted
but
not
analyzed
because
of
low
residues
( 
0.01
ppm)
in
the
extracts.

At
the
14/
28­
day
PBI,
the
majority
of
the
radioactivity
(
58­
78%
TRR)
was
extracted
into
methanol/
water,
except
for
sorghum
seed
(
11%
TRR
in
the
methanol/
water
extract).
The
majority
of
the
radioactivity
(
57%
TRR)
in
sorghum
seed
was
released
with
subsequent
acid
hydrolysis;
5­
26%
TRR
was
released
with
acid
hydrolysis
of
the
other
rotated
matrices.
In
the
91­
day
PBI
samples,
solvent­
extractable
residues
were
reduced,
while
a
larger
amount
of
radioactivity
was
released
with
acid
hydrolysis.
Base
digestion
of
nonextractable
residues
released
an
additional
5­
9%
TRR
from
most
matrices,
and
24­
28%
TRR
from
radish
roots
and
sorghum
seed.
Nonextractable
residues
remaining
following
extraction/
hydrolysis
accounted
for
<
0.03
ppm
in
all
rotational
crop
matrices;
accountabilities
ranged
~
90­
114%.
Residues
were
identified
and
quantitated
primarily
by
HPLC
and
liquid
chromatography/
mass
spectroscopy
(
LC/
MS)
cochromatography.
These
methods
successfully
identified
the
predominant
residues
in
rotated
crops.

At
the
14/
28­
and
91­
day
PBI,
total
identified
residues
ranged
5­
45%
in
rotated
crop
commodities
other
than
sorghum
seed;
no
residues
were
identified
in
rotated
sorghum
seed.
The
parent,
kresoxim­
methyl,
was
not
identified
in
any
rotational
crop
commodity
at
any
PBI.
Two
metabolites,
the
glucose
conjugates
of
490
M2
and
490
M9,
were
identified
in
the
rotated
crop
matrices
(
except
sorghum
seed).
The
490

glucoside
was
found
to
be

Both
490
M2
and
490

glucosides
were
detected
at
approximately
equal
amounts
in
28­
day
PBI
Swiss
chard
(
15.5­
16.2%
TRR,
0.060­
0.062

however,
in
91­

PBI
Swiss

the
490
M2
glucoside
was
found
at
higher
levels
(
12.0%

0.039

than
the
490

glucoside
(
5.2%
TRR,
0.017

The
490
M2
and
M9
glucosides
co­
eluted
in
91­
day
PBI
sorghum
fodder
as
a
minor
residue
(<
5%
TRR).
A
second
major
peak
in
91­
day
PBI
Swiss
chard,
accounting
for
13.9%
TRR
(
0.047
ppm),
was
tentatively
identified
by
LC/
MS
as
a
glycine
conjugate
of
a
dihydroxylated
metabolite
of
kresoxim­
methyl
(
no
structure
was
proposed).

A
polar
peak
area,
observed
in
the
methanol/
water
extracts
of
all
rotational
crop
commodities,
accounted
for
2.0­
6.0%
TRR
(
0.009­
0.036
ppm)
in
all
matrices,
except
for
sorghum
seed
(
34.8%
TRR,
0.053

at
the
14/
28­

PBI,
and
7.7­
18.5%
TRR
(
0.009­
0.034

in
all
matrices,
except
for
sorghum
seed
(
53.8%
TRR,
0.029

at
the
91­
day
PBI.
Further
characterization
of
this
polar
peak,
using
fractions
isolated
from
radish
tops
and
Swiss
chard
(
91­
day
PBI),
indicated
that
the
polar
residue
is
a
cluster
consisting
of
more
than
20
peaks.
Unknown
residues
accounted
for
the
remaining
residues
in
the
rotated
crop
matrices
at
8­
28.5%
TRR;
each
peak
represented
<
7%
TRR
(<
0.05

The
petitioner
stated
that
the
radioactivity
released
with
base
digestion
represents
solubilized
lignin,
indicating
that
the
metabolites
of
kresoxim­

were
incorporated
into
natural

on
the
study
completion
dates,
samples
may
have
been
stored
for
up
to
~
28
months
prior
to
analysis.
The
petitioner
provided
data
demonstrating
that
the
metabolic
profile
is
relatively
stable
in
radish
tops,
Swiss
chard,
and
sorghum
forage
stored
frozen
for
~
18
months.

Based
on
the
results
of
the
study,
the
metabolic
pathway
of
kresoxim­
methyl
in
rotational
crops
involves
the
initial
cleavage
of
the
acid
ester
to
the
free
acid
(
490
M1),
oxidation
of
the
A
ring
to
form
hydroxylated
products
(
490
M2
and
490
M9),
conjugation
of
these
hydroxylated
products
to
glucose
(
490­
B
and
490­
C)
and
final
incorporation
of
these
metabolites
into
natural
products.

Conclusions.
The
nature
of
the
residues
in
rotational
crops
is
adequate
pending
submission
of
supporting
sample
storage
stability
information/
data.
In
the
submitted
confined
rotational
crop
study,
total
radioactive
residues
accumulated
at
 
0.01
ppm
in
all
rotated
crops
(
radish,
Swiss
chard,
and
sorghum)
planted
14/
28,
91,
or
210/
245
days
following
four
applications
of
[
14C]
kresoxim­
methyl
for
a
total
rate
of
1.2
lb
ai/
A
(
1.3x).
The
parent,
kresoxim­
methyl,
was
not
detected
in/
on
any
rotational
crop
commodity
at
any
PBI.
The
major
residue
components
identified
in
rotational
crop
commodities
were
the
glucosides
of
490
M2
and
490
M9.
These
conjugated
metabolites,
490

are
converted
to
their

BASF
Corporation
has
submitted
a
limited
field
rotational
crop
study
with
kresoxim­
methyl
on
the
representative
crops
cabbage
(
leafy
vegetable),
radish
(
root
vegetable),
and
wheat
(
cereal
grain).
Six
field
trials
were
conducted
at
two
test
sites,
in
Regions
2
(
GA)
and
10
(
CA)
for
each
crop.
At
each
site,
six
broadcast
foliar
spray
applications
of
a
50%
DF
formulation
of
kresoximmethyl
were
made
with
an
adjuvant
to
the
primary
crop,
cucumbers,
at
0.17­
0.18
lb
ai/
A/
application,
for
total
application
rates
of
1.05­
1.06
lb
ai/
A
(~
1.2x).
Applications
of
the
test
formulation
began
35
days
prior
to
harvest
of
cucumbers.
When
the
primary
crop
(
cucumbers)
reached
maturity,
they
were
harvested
and
the
treatment
plots
were
planted
with
rotational
crops
of
cabbage,
radish,
and
wheat
at
PBIs
of
~
14,
30,
and
45
days.
The
rotational
crops
were
allowed
to
grow
and
mature
according
to
good
agricultural
practices.
Samples
of
cabbage
(
with
and
without
wrapper
leaves),
radish
roots
and
tops,
and
wheat
forage,
hay,
straw,
and
grain
were
collected
at
crop
maturity.

Samples
of
rotational
crop
commodities
from
the
14­
day
PBI
were
analyzed
for
residues
of
the
glycoside
metabolites,
BF
490­
B
and
BF
490­
C,
as
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9,
respectively,
using
a
modified
version
of
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US.
BASF
Method
350/
3­
US,
an
HPLC
method
with
UV
detection
(
270
nm),
is
the
current
plant
enforcement
method
for
the
determination
of
residues
of
kresoxim­
methyl
and
its
predominant
metabolites
(
BF
490­
1,
BF
490­
2,
and
BF
490­
9).
This
method
was
revised
in
the
current
study
to
measure
only
residues
of
the
glycoside
metabolites
(

Data
DP#:
328725
Page
15
of

and
BF

since
these
glycoside
metabolites
were
the
predominant
residues
identified
in
a
confined
rotational
crop
study
(
see
the
860.1850
DER
for
MRID
45101404).
A
modification
of
the
method
for
rotational
crop
commodities
included
final
determination
by
LC/
MS/
MS
in
lieu
of
HPLC.
The
validated
LOQs
for
metabolites
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9,
when
using
the
LC/
MS/
MS
method,
were
each
0.05
ppm,
with
a
total
of
0.10
ppm.
The
LOD,
defined
as
the
lowest
standard
level
injected
with
the
analysis
sets
was
equivalent
to
0.02
ppm
for
each
analyte.
The
method
is
adequate
for
data
collection
based
on
acceptable
concurrent
method
recovery
data.

Adequate
storage
stability
data
are
available
to
support
the
storage
conditions
and
intervals
of
samples
collected
from
the
current
study.
The
maximum
storage
intervals,
from
harvest
to
analysis,
were
295
days
(
9.7
months)
for
cabbage
(
with
and
without
wrapper
leaves),
344
days
(
11.3
months)
for
radish
(
roots
and
tops),
292
months
(
9.6
months)
for
wheat
forage,
194
days
(
6.4
months)
for
wheat
hay,
161
days
(
5.3
months)
for
wheat
straw
and
grain.
To
support
sample
storage
conditions
and
intervals,
the
petitioner
cited
storage
stability
data
submitted
in
conjunction
with
the
confined
rotational
crop
study
(
refer
to
860.1850
DER
for
MRID
45101404);
these
data
demonstrate
that
the
percentages
of
total
radioactive
residues
of
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
remained
constant
under
frozen
conditions
in
Swiss
chard
and
sorghum
for
up
to
18
months.
The
petitioner
also
included
a
storage
stability
study
investigating
the
recovery
of
fortified
residues
of
kresoxim­
methyl
and
its
glucose
conjugate
metabolites
BF
490­
B
and
BF
490­
C
in/
on
apples
(
refer
to
the
860.1380
DER
for
MRID
45101403).
These
data
indicate
that
kresoxim­
methyl,
BF
490­
B,
and
BF
490­
C
are
reasonably
stable
under
frozen
conditions
in/
on
apples
for
up
to
12
months.
The
petitioner
stated
that
a
storage
stability
study
has
been
initiated
for
the
glycoside
metabolites
in
cabbage,
radish
root,
wheat
grain,
and
wheat
straw;
these
supplemental
data
will
be
submitted
to
the
Agency
upon
study
completion.

The
study
results
indicate
that
at
the
14­
day
PBI,
residues
of
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
were
each
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.05
ppm)
in/
on
cabbage
(
with
and
without
wrapper
leaves),
radish
roots
and
tops,
and
wheat
forage,
hay,
straw,
and
grain.
Because
residues
were
below
the
LOQ
in
all
samples
of
rotated
crop
commodities
from
the
14­
day
PBI,
samples
from
the
30­
and
45­
day
PBIs
were
not
analyzed.

Conclusions.
The
submitted
limited
field
rotational
crop
study
with
kresoxim­
methyl
is
adequate.
Representative
rotational
crops
of
cabbage
(
leafy
vegetable),
radish
(
root
vegetable),
and
wheat
(
cereal
grain)
were
planted
at
intervals
of
~
14,
30,
and
45
days
after
the
primary
crop
(
cucumbers)
was
treated
at
~
1.2x
and
harvested
at
maturity.
Only
residues
of
the
glycoside
metabolites
(
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9)
were
measured
in
this
study
since
these
glycoside
metabolites
were
the
predominant
residues
identified
in
the
confined
rotational
crop
study.
The
results
indicate
that
at
a
PBI
of
14
days,
residues
of
BF
490­
2
and
BF
490­
9
were
each
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.05
ppm)
in/
on
cabbage
(
with
and
without
wrapper
leaves),
radish
roots
and
tops,
and
wheat
forage,
hay,
straw,
and
grain.
Because
residues
were
below
the
LOQ
in
all
samples
of
rotated
crop
commodities
from
the
14­
day
PBI,
samples
from
the
30­
and
45­
day
PBIs
were
not
analyzed.
Based
on
these
data,
HED
concludes
that
tolerances
for
rotational
crop
commodities
are
not
required
for
the
purpose
of
this
petition
provided
the
label
for
Sovran

are
compatible
not
with

Tolerance
Assessment
Calculations
The
datasets
used
to
establish
a
crop
group
tolerance
for
kresoxim­
methyl
on
cucurbit
vegetables
consisted
of
field
trial
data
representing
application
rates
of
1.0­
1.1
lb
ai/
A
(
6
applications
at
0.15­
0.23
lb
ai/
A/
application)
with
a
0­
day
PHI.
As
specified
by
the
Guidance
for
Setting
Pesticide
Tolerances
Based
on
Field
Trial
Data
SOP,
the
field
trial
application
rates
and
PHIs
are
within
25%
of
the
maximum
label
application
rate
and
minimum
label
PHI,
respectively.
The
residues
values
used
to
calculate
the
tolerance
are
provided
in
Table
II­
1.

There
cantaloupe,
cucumber,
and
summer
squash
trials
were
evaluated
individually.
The
highest
residue
levels
were
seen
in
the
summer
squash
trials.
The
result
from
the
approximate
Shapiro­
Francia
test
statistic
(
Figure
II­
2)
indicated
that
the
assumption
of
lognormality
should
be
rejected
for
summer
squash.
Visual
inspection
of
the
lognormal
probability
plot
(
Figure
II­
1)
provided
in
the
spreadsheet
confirmed
that
the
dataset
is
not
lognormal.

Since
the
field
trial
data
for
kresoxim­
methyl
on
cucurbit
vegetables
are
not
lognormal,
the
upper
bound
on
the
89th
percentile
should
be
selected
as
the
tolerance
value
(
distribution­
free
method).
Using
the
rounding
procedure
as
outlined
in
the
Guidance
for
Setting
Pesticide
Tolerances
Based
on
Field
Trial
Data
SOP,
the
CA
Method
rounds
to
the
value
0.40
ppm.
Therefore,
0.40
ppm
is
the
recommended
tolerance
level
for
kresoxim­
methyl
on
"
Vegetable,
cucurbit
(
Group
9)."
