The office on June 24 sent a document to the Plant Protection Department under the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development regarding the proposal.
Accordingly, Japan suggested increasing the MRLs of Isopyrazam, a broad-spectrum foliar fungicide; and Hexaconazole, a sterol biosynthesis inhibitor; with the specific revisions depending on products.
However, for Benthiavalicarb-isopropyl, a new valinamide carbamate type of fungicide, the country said its limits should be reduced for spring onion (including leek), eggplant and other nightshade vegetables (except for tomato and sweet pepper), and yellow and green lemon.
Meanwhile, the limits for spinach and herbs (except for watercress, chives, parsley stems and leaves, and celery stems and leaves) will rise from 0 ppm to 10 ppm.
