This is a plant-derived substance for which limited data is currently available. The substance is not commercially available as a pesticide but is currently subject to the EU regulatory risk assessment..
Data alerts
The following 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.
