EU-28: New EU MRL Permits Phosphonate Fertilizer Use in U.S. Tree Nuts

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On June 6, 2018 the EU published permanent Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for fosetyl-al (the sum of fosetyl, phosphonic acid and their salts, expressed as fosetyl) on tree nuts. The new MRLs are set at 500 ppm and will enter into force on June 26, 2018. Without this definitive MRL, the temporary level of 75 ppm that has been in place for the most commonly traded tree nuts would revert back to 2 ppm on March 1, 2019.
