The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada wishes to gather on-the-ground input from growers who use fluazinam fungicide on a wide range of fruits and vegetables.

Before conducting its next risk assessment on fluazinam, the active ingredient in Allegro 500F, the PMRA will consider grower use information received from the Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) for the following crops:

Apples, Beans, Blueberries (highbush and lowbush), Berries (currant, elderberry, gooseberry, huckleberry), Head and stem Brassica Leafy Brassica greens, Carrots, Cucurbit Vegetables (field-grown), Ginseng, Grapes (except table grapes), Grapes (wine), Onions (bulb crop subgroup), Peppers (field)  

Grower input on how the product is actually used is essential. In the absence of this additional information, PMRA must use the most conservative scenario during the risk assessment process (e.g., 100% crop treated, maximum possible application rates, etc.).

Responses to this survey, which are anonymous, are requested by no later than Wednesday November 2, 2022. The survey can be found at:
