Indicates that the input value is proposed at the limit of quantification.

TM: thiophanate‐methyl; CBZ: carbendazim.

a

Values derived from residue trials have been adjusted assuming that, following boiling/brewing/baking, thiophanate‐methyl would be reduced by 15% and converted into carbendazim. Additionally, thiophanate‐methyl residues were expressed as carbendazim considering that the ratio between the two molecular weights is 0.56.

b

Residues arising from the use of carbendazim.
