The release was given through Resolution RE No. 160 of January 20, 2017 and published in the Official Gazette of the Union on January 23.
According to the monograph, the authorized formulation is powder for preparing paste in water, and the method of use is by land application, through spraying or via drench (squirt) and in seed treatment. According to Anvisa, MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) and Safety Interval were not determined due to the lack of need to stipulate this indication for this active ingredient.

Anvisa clarifies that it grants approval for use in agriculture, but the indication of biological targets is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply.
