Subform VII: Scientific Study

1. Study Reference

Title Mandipropamid SC (A12956B) + Chlorothalonil SC (A7867K) - Residue Levels on Potatoes from Trials Conducted in Canada During 2007,

Date 01-JAN-07

2. a) Is an extension needed to translate the document?

No

3. Type of incident identified in the study

Increased health or environmental risk

4. Describe the incident identified in the study (e.g. study demonstrates an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to pesticide X)

This study is still ongoing and has not been signed-off. The date shown is only to allow the form to be completed. In 2007, a bridging residue trial was established with a tank mix of Mandipropamid SC (A12946B) + Chlorothalonil SC (A7867K) on potatoes. The program included plots at 3 sites. The analytical results from one sample from one of the 3 sites indicated residues for parent mandipropamid (0.015 ppm) which were above the existing MRL for potatoes (0.01 ppm). There were no detectable residues of the parent at the other 2 sites.

5. a) Was the study discontinued before completion?

No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation

6. If the study is ongoing, what is the expected completion date?

Unknown
