From 2013 to 2015, research was conducted to estimate the maximum expected residue levels for the insecticides cyantraniliprole and spinosad following application to flue-cured tobacco. Data were generated in order to assist industry in establishing Guidance Residue Limits for both compounds. The insecticides were applied to fields of tobacco at maximum rates in accordance with the labeled rates and the harvested/cured leaf was analyzed in a lab for chemical residues. The findings indicated that the expected residues on cured leaf would be low or not quantifiable under existing detection techniques.
