Degradation analysis of SAETA PH™ usage.
(40% P2O5 and 41% CaO)
on onion cultivation in Ica, Peru
OBJECTIVE
Determine the content of Aluminum Phosetyl, with the application of the product
SAETA PH™ on harvested Onion bulbs.
TREATMENT OF THE DEGRADATION WORK OF SAETA PH™ ON ONIONS IN ICA, PERU.

SUMMARY
The results of the analysis of onion bulbs treated with Saeta PH™ at the maximum dose (2 Kg/Ha) and up to 40 days before harvest do not exceed the MRL established in Europe.
The level of Fosetyl Al found is so low (0.312 ppm vs. 50 ppm MRL), that we can continue to investigate even lower pre-harvest intervals and perhaps up to harvest day.
It is suggested to continue with this evaluation until the harvest day.
MRL – Maximum Residue Limit
EU – European Union
*= MRL in Europe : 50 ppm
