No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation

7. Provide supplemental information here

Bayer would like to note that the lower contact LD50 value as reported is within the range identified as practically non-toxic to bees (11 g/bee). In addition, the colony level studies do not suggest adverse effects to bee colonies from exposure to prothioconazole. This study is for seed treatment formulations for which significant contact exposure is not expected.
