Germany, 2023:

1.13; 5.6; 7.03; 8.37; 17.3; 20.8

New GAP compliant trials on hops (GAP of 2 × 0.4 kg as/ha, interval 8–14 days, PHI 28 days) (Germany, 2023). Underlined trials represent replicate trials where mean values [5.6 mg/kg (replicates: 5.3; 5.9 mg/kg) and 20.8 mg/kg (replicates: 12.4; 29.2 mg/kg)] were derived. 40.0 20.80 7.70 1.0

MRL: maximum residue level; GAP: Good Agricultural Practice.

(a)

NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe.

(b)

Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

(c)

Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

(d)

Conversion factor to recalculate residues according to the residue definition for monitoring to the residue definition for risk assessment.
