However, it was not until 12 August 2021 that the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition of the Generalitat Valenciana declared the presence of the Delotococcus aberiae pest in this territory. On this basis, and after studying the various options, the ministry finally decided to grant an exceptional authorisation, with a start date running from 30 August 2021 to 27 December 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chlorpyrifos-methyl is an insecticide no longer authorised for agricultural use in the EU; the authorisation expired on 16\/01\/2020, and it currently has a default MRL of 0.01 mg\/kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phytocontrol laboratory can offer you accredited analysis of this active substance. You can consult our COFRAC technical appendix No 1-1904, available on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need technical, regulatory or pricing information?
