The following Pesticide Hazard Tricolour (PHT) alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement. The alerts for Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) are based on applying the FAO/WHO (Type 1) and the PAN (Type II) criteria to PPDB data. Further details on the HHP indicators are given in the tables below. Neither the PHT nor the HHP hazard alerts take account of usage patterns or exposure, thus they do not represent risk.

Formulation and application details
Usually formulated as a wettable powder and used as a foliar spray
Commercial production
Mildiomycin is produced commercially through the cultivation of specific microorganisms typically belonging to the Actinomycetes family, in a suitable culture medium. The microorganism is grown, under controlled conditions, in a fermentation broth that contains necessary nutrients. After fermentation, mildiomycin is extracted from the culture medium and purified to obtain the final product
Impact on climate of production and use
As microbial-based products tend to use fermentation-based production processes rather than chemical synthesis, they typically have a lower fossil fuel input in formulation and active ingredient creation, and also have reduced downstream emissions due to biodegradability and minimal soil disruption, their life-cycle GHG emissions are expected to be low. Whilst hard and precise data is not available, broad estimates suggest that typically emissions are likely to be below 5 kg CO₂e/kg.
