Consultation on the proposed special review decision of pydiflumetofen and its associated end-use products, PSRD2024-03

Health Canada has evaluated the aspects of concern that prompted the special review of pest control products containing pydiflumetofen, which are relevant to human health, and proposes continued registration of pydiflumetofen and associated end-use products registered for sale and use in Canada.

Pydiflumetofen is a broad-spectrum fungicide currently registered as a foliar application, seed treatment or both, on various field food and feed crops, greenhouse food and non-food crops, outdoor ornamentals and turf for the control and suppression of certain diseases. All currently registered products containing pydiflumetofen have been considered in this special review.

The evaluation of available relevant scientific information related to the aspect of concern indicated that pydiflumetofen showed acceptable risk when used according to the proposed conditions of registration, which includes new mitigation measures.

The proposed additional mitigation measures are summarized in the consultation summary, and details are outlined in Appendix IV of PSRD2024-03, Proposed special review decision of pydiflumetofen and its associated end-use products.

For a full list of products containing pydiflumetofen, please consult Appendix I of PSRD2024-03 or visit the Pesticide Label Search database.
