EU increases MRLs for cycloxydim
Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/581 of 27 March 2025 amending Annexes II and IV to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards maximum residue levels for cycloxydim, dichlorprop-P, flupyradifurone, methyl nonyl ketone, plant oils/citronella oil, potassium sorbate and potassium phosphonate in or on certain products
Update
The EU has increased the maximum residue levels (MRLs) for cycloxydim on pome fruits, peas, maize, and sugar beet roots.
Impacted Products
Pears, quinces, medlars, loquats/Japanese medlars, peas (with pods), maize/corn, sugar beet roots
What is changing?
The changes to cycloxydim maximum residue levels (MRLs) are set out in Table 1.
Why?
Following a request for modification of the MRLs for cycloxydim on some products, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA 2024) has concluded the data are sufficient to support the proposed MRLs for pome fruits, peas, maize/corn, and sugar beet roots.
Timeline
The new MRLs apply from 17 April 2025.
