Can a general residue definition be proposed for primary crops? No
Rotational crop and primary crop metabolism similar? Yes
Residue pattern in processed commodities similar to residue pattern in raw commodities? Not triggered
Plant residue definition for monitoring (RD‐Mo) Cereals only: sum of profoxydim and all metabolites containing the thiopyranylcyclohexenone moiety (with all three oxidation states of sulfur) expressed as profoxydim (determined as BH 625‐23)
Plant residue definition for risk assessment (RD‐RA) Cereals only: sum of profoxydim and all metabolites containing the thiopyranylcyclohexenone moiety (with all three oxidation states of sulfur) expressed as profoxydim (determined as BH 625‐23)
Conversion factor (monitoring to risk assessment) Not relevant
Methods of analysis for monitoring of residues (analytical technique, crop groups, LOQs) Rice grains:
  • GC‐MS, LOQ: 0.05 mg/kg. BASF Method Nr. D 9612/1. Common moiety approach analysing all metabolites containing the thiopyranylcyclohexenone moiety, determined as BH 625‐23. ILV available (Spain, 2001).

  • LC‐MS/MS, LOQ: 0.005 mg/kg. For parent compound only (EURL, 2017).

Rice straw:
  • GC‐MS, LOQ: 0.05 mg/kg. BASF Method Nr. D 9612/1. Common moiety approach analysing all metabolites containing the thiopyranylcyclohexenone moiety, determined as BH 625‐23. ILV available (Spain, 2001).
