2.For export to Japan, MRL values must be zero, if spraying or dipping with DDAC, How many days it will not be detected DDAC. We do not have DDAC residue studies for Sporekill on ginger. However ANY application making contact with the crop parts to be exported, WILL RESULT IN DDAC RESIDUES. For DDAC sensitive markets (like Japan) this must not be done. On a crop like citrus even an application of 170 days prior to harvest, the fruit had DDAC residues which exceeds the level of detection (as in Japan). THUS DO NOT APPLY SPOREKILL TO GINGER ON THE edible PARTS TO BE EXPORTED TO JAPAN. THE JAPANESE DDAC MRL (“level of detection”) WILL BE EXCEEDED.
However keep in mind, all foliar applications on crop parts (foliage) not making contact with edible/ export parts WILL NOT RESULT in DDAC residues on edible/ export parts. For exsample, Sporekill foliar applications on crops such as carrots, potatoes & onions (edible part below soil) do not result in any detectible DDAC residues on the edible part. This will also be true for ginger with edible part below soil.
