Rotational crops (available studies) Crop groups Crop(s) Application(s) PBI (DAT) Comment/Source
Root/tuber crops Turnips Bare soil, 266 g a.s./ha 0 Radiolabelled active substance: the study was conducted with the most persistent acetamiprid soil metabolite IM‐1‐5 (DT50 319–663 days) (EFSA, 2016)
Leafy crops Spinaches Bare soil, 266 g a.s./ha 0
Cereal (small grain) Wheat Bare soil, 266 g a.s./ha 0
Processed commodities (hydrolysis study) Conditions Stable? Comment/Source
Pasteurisation (20 min, 90°C, pH 4) Yes Acetamiprid was stable under standard hydrolysis conditions. Pasteurisation, baking/brewing/boiling and sterilisation are unlikely to result in any significant metabolites (EFSA, 2011, 2016)
Baking, brewing and boiling (60 min, 100°C, pH 5) Yes
Sterilisation (20 min, 120°C, pH 6) Yes
