Consultation on Azadirachtin and Its Associated End-use Product, Proposed Re evaluation Decision PRVD2018-10

Azadirachtin, extracted from seeds of the tropical neem tree, is a registered pesticide used to control insects on trees. The technical-grade azadirachtin is called NeemAzal, and the commercial product is called TreeAzin, whose labels can be found in the pesticide label search database.

Following a scheduled re-evaluation under the Re-evaluation Program, Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is consulting Canadians on the proposal to continue all uses of azadirachtin. No new risk mitigation measures for product labels are being proposed as a result of the review.

For more information on the proposed decision open the “Proposed Re-evaluation Decision”.
