Based on Lahr et al. (2018).

(b)

Based on EFSA (2014a).

(c)

TER values which are below the trigger value of 10 are highlighted in bold.

(d)

The greenhouse use in ornamentals is indicated for closed permanent structures. For that use, low acute risk could be concluded for birds based on limited exposure to pirimicarb. Nevertheless, for eventual uses in non‐permanent greenhouse uses in ornamentals, TER values have also been estimated.
