In a recent regulatory update, the European Commission has decided not to renew the approval of tritosulfuron, a common pesticide active substance, under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2777. This move aligns with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and impacts the availability and use of tritosulfuron-based products in EU agriculture.
Timeline for Implementation
- Entry
into Force: 7 November 2024.
- Withdrawal
of Authorisations: Member States must withdraw
authorisations for tritosulfuron-based products within six months.
Maximum residue levels (MRLs)
Existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for tritosulfuron in the EU
are already at the detection limit (0.01–0.05 mg/kg), so exporters can continue
using tritosulfuron as long as residues meet these stringent limits.
