Metiram in the Product Nufarm Polyram DF Fungicide Spray

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Nufarm Australia Limited to vary the registration of the product, NUFARM POLYRAM DF FUNGICIDE SPRAY, containing 700 g/kg metiram, to add use on pome fruit, bananas, onions, pulses, poppies and mangoes for control of various fungal diseases. The proposed extensions of use require an increase in the MRL for dithiocarbamates in mangoes. As no changes are required to MRLs for other crops, the other crops will not be discussed further in this note.
