Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole in the Product Veritas Fungicide for use on Canola and Pulses

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Adama Australia Pty Limited, to vary the registration of Veritas Fungicide to add uses on canola and various pulses. Veritas contains azoxystrobin and tebuconazole as its only active ingredients.

Canola seed (including derived oils and meals) and pulses (lupins, field peas, chickpeas, faba beans, navy beans, mung beans) are considered to be major export commodities, as are commodities of animal origin, such as meat, offal and dairy products, which may be derived from livestock fed feeds produced from treated canola and pulses. Residues in these commodities resulting from the use of Veritas Fungicide may have the potential to unduly prejudice trade.
