Under the authority of the  Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has added new uses on corn to the product label of Stratego 250EC Fungicide, containing technical grade trifloxystrobin and propiconazole. The specific uses approved in Canada are detailed on the label of Stratego 250EC Fungicide, Pest Control Products Act Registration Number 27528.

Corresponding maximum residue limits (MRLs) for trifloxystrobin were proposed in the consultation document published on 27 September 2011, Proposed Maximum Residue Limit PMRL2011-35, Trifloxystrobin. 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 take legal effect in Canada as of the publication date of this document and either replace or are in addition to the MRLs already established for trifloxystrobin.
