Emamectin in the Product Affirm Insecticide

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited to vary the registration of the product, Affirm Insecticide, containing 17 g/L emamectin. Syngenta are proposing to add a use on canola with a similar use pattern to that previously approved under permit. The proposed extension of use requires establishment of permanent MRLs for emamectin in canola.
