7. Provide supplemental information here

This group of studies (with the exception of two of the honey bee studies) were performed to support registration of the formulation Metribuzin SC 600 g/L. This exact formulation is not sold in the US or Canada. In Canada, Bayer sells a formulation under the Sencor brand that is a soluble concentrate (SC) with 480 g/L of metribuzin - this formulation is considered to be similar to the SC 600 formulation.
