Under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has added new uses on leafy vegetables except Brassica (Crop Group 4) and leafy Brassica greens (Crop Subgroup 5B) to the product label of Citation 75 WP Insecticide, containing technical grade cyromazine. See Appendix I for a list of crop group and subgroup commodities. The specific uses approved in Canada are detailed on the label of Citation 75 WP Insecticide, Pest Control Products Act Registration Number 24465.

Corresponding maximum residue limits MRLs were proposed for leafy vegetables without existing MRLs in the consultation document published on 25 November 2008, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2008-44, Cyromazin. The PMRA received no comments in response to this consultation.

To comply with Canada's international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRLs was also conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by the Standards Council of Canada. No comments were received as a result of the World Trade Organization consultation.

The following MRLs are legally in effect as of the publication date of this document and are in addition to the MRLs already established for Cyromazin.
