Executive
Summary
Dimethipin
[
2,3­
dihydro­
5,6­
dimethyl­
1,4­
dithiin
1,1,4,4­
tetraoxide]
is
a
plant
growth
regulator/
dessicant
registered
for
use
as
a
preharvest
cotton
defoliant.
Dimethipin
products
are
registered
in
the
U.
S.
to
Crompton
Manufacturing
Company,
Inc.
(
parent
company
to
Uniroyal
Chemical
Company,
Inc.)
under
the
trade
name
HARVADE
®
.
Currently,
the
2,
3.2,
and
4.9
lb/
gal
flowable
concentrate
formulations
of
dimethipin
are
registered
for
use
on
cotton.
The
products
are
typically
applied
as
postemergence
broadcast
applications
using
ground
or
aerial
equipment.

Dimethipin
is
a
FIFRA
List
C
pesticide.
The
Health
Effects
Division
completed
the
Dimethipin
Phase
4
Review
on
9/
26/
91.
A
Dimethipin
Data
Call­
In
(
DCI)
Notice
was
subsequently
issued
12/
30/
91.
Several
data
submissions
have
been
received
and
evaluated
since
the
Phase
4
Review.
The
information
contained
in
this
document
outlines
the
Residue
Chemistry
Science
Assessments
with
respect
to
the
reregistration
of
dimethipin.

The
nature
of
the
residue
in
plants
(
cotton)
and
livestock
is
adequately
understood
based
on
metabolism
studies
with
cotton,
goats,
and
hens.
The
residue
of
concern
for
tolerance
enforcement
is
dimethipin
per
se
for
both
plant
and
livestock
commodities.
The
residue
of
concern
for
risk
assessment
is
dimethipin
per
se
for
plant
commodities
and
livestock
commodities
except
liver.
The
residues
of
concern
for
risk
assessment
for
the
liver
of
cattle,
goats,
hogs
and
sheep
are
dimethipin
plus
acetyl
dithiane
tetraoxide
(

).

Tolerances
are
established
under
40
CFR
§
180.406
(
a)
for
residues
of
dimethipin
(
2,3­

in/
on
cotton,
undelinted

at
0.7
ppm,
and
the
fat,
meat,
and
meat
byproducts
of
cattle,
goats,
hogs,
horses,
and
sheep,
each
at
0.02
ppm.
There
are
no
tolerance
established
for
dimethipin
residues
in
poultry
tissues
or
eggs
as
the
Agency
has
concluded
that
there
is
no
reasonable
expectation
of
finite
residues
(
40
CFR
§
180.6(
a)(
3))
of
dimethipin
in
poultry
commodities
based
on
the
current
registered
uses.

Tolerances
for
dimethipin
have
been
reassessed.
The
tolerance
level
for
undelinted
cottonseed
should
remain
at
the
established
level
(
0.5
ppm).
The
established
tolerance
for
cotton
hulls
should
be
revoked
as
processing
studies
indicate
that
dimethipin
residues
do
not
concentrate
in
cotton
hulls.

Although
feeding
study
data,
reflecting
exaggerated
dosing
levels,
indicate
that
there
are
no
expectation
of
finite
residues
in
the
fat,
meat,
or
meat
byproducts
of
cattle,
goat,
horses,
hogs
or
sheep,
HED
recommends
that
the
tolerances
for
dimethipin
in
livestock
meat
and
meat
byproducts
not
be
revoked
in
order
to
harmonize
with
the
established
Codex
MRLs.
The
U.
S.
tolerances
for
livestock
meat
and
meat
byproducts
and
Codex
MRLs
for
mammalian
meat
and
edible
offal
are
established
at
0.02
ppm,
which
is
at
or
about
the
limit
of
quantitation.

The
U.
S.
tolerances
for
dimethipin
in
the
fat
of
cattle,
goat,
horses,
hogs
and
sheep
should
be
revoked
as
there
is
no
expectation
of
finite
residues
in
these
commodities
and
there
are
no
Codex
MRLs
established.
3
There
is
no
U.
S.
tolerance
for
dimethipin
in
milk.
A
tolerance
for
milk
is
not
required
as
there
is
no
expectation
of
finite
residues
of
dimethipin
in
milk.

For
enforcement
of
tolerances
for
residues
of
dimethipin,
PAM
Vol.
II
lists
two
methods,
Method
I
for
cottonseed
and
Method
II
for
livestock
tissues
and
eggs.
The
stated
detection
limits
are
0.1
ppm
for
cottonseed
and
0.02
ppm
for
livestock
commodities.

Nature
of
the
Residue
­
Plants
The
nature
of
the
residue
in
cotton
is
understood;
the
residue
of
concern
for
tolerance
enforcement
and
risk
assessment
is
the
parent,
dimethipin
per
se
(
Dimethipin
Team
Review

meetings).

A
summary
of
a
cotton
metabolism
study
was
submitted
for
Phase
4
review
(
MRIDs
93089024
and
93089037);
the
Phase
4
Review
concluded
that
this
study
was
not
sufficient
to
satisfy
data
requirements
because
results
were
not
confirmed
using
a
second
method,
and
insufficient
attempts
were
made
to
characterize
unidentified
radioactivity.

In
a
second
cotton
metabolism
study
(
MRID
43436901),
greenhouse­
grown
cotton
was
treated
with
[
2,3­
14C]
dimethipin
at
1.22
lb
ai/
A
and
3.06
lb
ai/
A
(
2.2x
and
5.4x
the
maximum
seasonal
rate)
two
weeks
prior
to
harvest.
Total
radioactive
residues
were
97.1
ppm
in
foliage
and
0.291
ppm
in
seeds
from
plants
treated
at
the
2.2x
rate,
and
341.3
ppm
in
foliage
and
1.42
ppm
in
seeds
from
plants
treated
at
the
5.4x
rate.
Matrices
from
the
2.2x
treated
plants
were
subjected
to
extraction
and
characterization/
identification.
Dimethipin
per
se
was
found
to
comprise
74%
of
foliage
radioactivity
and
80%
of
seed
radioactivity;
no
additional
metabolites
were
identified.

860.1300
Nature
of
the
Residue
­
Livestock
The
qualitative
nature
of
the
residue
in
livestock
is
understood.
The
residue
of
concern
for
tolerance
enforcement
is
dimethipin
per
se
for
livestock
commodities.
The
residue
of
concern
for
risk
assessment
is
dimethipin
per
se
for
livestock
commodities
except
liver.
The
residues
of
concern
for
risk
assessment
for
the
liver
of
cattle,
goats,
hogs
and
sheep
are
dimethipin
plus
acetyl
dithiane
tetraoxide
(
Dimethipin
Team
Review

Following
oral
administration
of
[
2,3­

dimethipin
to
lactating
goats
for
5
days
at
3.066,
1010.8,
and
1290.0
ppm
(

0.54x,
177x,
and
226x
the
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burden),
the
TRR
were
0.005­
0.006
ppm
in
milk,
0.27
ppm
in
liver,
0.15
ppm
in
kidney,
0.002
ppm
in
muscle,
and
0.001
ppm
in
fat
from
the
goat
dosed
at
3.066
ppm,
0.68­
1.20
ppm
in
milk,
78.5
ppm
in
liver,
28.4
ppm
in
kidney,
0.64
ppm
in
muscle,
and
0.32
ppm
in

from
the
goat
dosed
at
1010.8

and
3.13­
4.26
ppm
in
milk,
45.0
ppm
in
liver,
55.2
ppm
in
kidney,
2.04
ppm
in
muscle,
and
0.99
ppm
in
fat
from
the
goat
dosed
at
1290.0
ppm.

Dimethipin
was
not
detected
in
milk
and
tissues
from
the
goat
dosed
at
3.066
ppm.
In
milk
from
this
goat,
dimethipin
cysteine
conjugate
(
34.8­
52.8%
TRR,
0.001­
0.002
ppm)
was
the
only
residue
identified.
In
kidney,
the
only
metabolite
identified
was
ethane
disulfonic
acid
(
75.6%
TRR,
0.11
ppm).
In
liver,
two
metabolites
were
identified:
ethane
disulfonic
acid
(
14.6%
TRR,
0.38
ppm)
and
acetyl
dithiane
(
16.6%
TRR,
0.045
ppm).
No
attempts
were
made
to
characterize/
identify
radioactive
residues
in
fat
and
muscle
because
the
total
radioactive
residues
in
these
tissues
were
0.001
and
0.002
ppm,
respectively.

The
parent
dimethipin
was
also
not
detected
in
the
milk
and
tissues
of
the
goats
dosed
at
higher
levels.
Dimethipin
cysteine
conjugate
was
also
the
only
residue
identified
in
milk
(
25.2­
50.6%
TRR,
0.22­
0.55
ppm).
In
kidney,
ethane
disulfonic
acid
(
27.6%
TRR,
7.8
ppm)
and
acetyl
dithiane
(
32.3%
TRR,
9.2
ppm)
were
identified.
In
muscle,
reduced
dimethipin
(
2,3­
dimethyl­
1,1,4,4­
tetraoxo­
1,4­
dithiane;
21.9%
TRR,
0.140
ppm)
was
identified.
In
liver,
ethane
disulfonic
acid
(
44.8%
TRR,
20.1
ppm)
was
identified.
Based
on
several
fractionation
and
extraction
procedures
employed
in
the
study,
the
registrant
believes
that
majority
of
radioactive
residues
in
kidney
and
liver
were
covalently
bound
to
proteins.

Following
oral
administration
of
[
2,3­

dimethipin
to
hens
for
5
days
at
2772
ppm
(
27,720x
the
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burden),
the
TRR
were
0.12­
12
ppm
in
egg
whites,
0.34­
16
ppm
in
egg
yolks,
2.4
ppm
in

10
ppm
in
thigh

10
ppm
in
breast

39
ppm
in

and
65
ppm
in

Residue
Analytical
Methods
Data
collection
methods:
GC
methods
with
flame
photometric
detection
(
FPD)
in
the
sulfur
mode
have
been
used
for
the
determination
of
residues
of
dimethipin
in
plant
commodities.
These
methods
are
the
same
as
or
modifications
of
the
method
listed
in
PAM
Vol.
II
for
tolerance
enforcement.
Brief
descriptions
of
these
methods
follow.

Cottonseed,
meal,
and
hulls
are
extracted
with
methanol:
water
(
9:
1,
v:
v),
and
this
extract
is
partitioned
with
hexane
and
chloroform.
Oil
is
mixed
with
hexane
which
is
partitioned
with
ACN.
Chloroform
extracts
of
cottonseed,
meal,
and
hulls
and
the
ACN
extract
of
oil
are
evaporated
to
dryness
and
redissolved
in
dichloromethane.
The
dichloromethane
extracts
are
concentrated
and
cleaned
up
on
a
GPC
column
eluted
with
dichloromethane.
The
eluates
are
evaporated
to
dryness,
and
residues
are
redissolved
in
toluene:
chloroform
(
4:
1;
v:
v).
Interfering
materials
are
then
removed
by
a
Florisil/
alumina
column
cleanup
in
which
residues
of
dimethipin
are
eluted
with
acetone:
chloroform
(
8:
92,
v:
v).
The
eluates
are
evaporated
to
dryness,
and
the
residues
are
taken
up
in
ethyl
acetate
for
analysis
by
GC/
FPD.
The
limit
of
quantitation
is
0.1
ppm
for
all
commodities.

For
rotational
crops,
a
data
collection
method,
SOP
#
Meth­
74,
similar
to
the
enforcement
method
was
used.
Samples
are
extracted
with
acetone/
water,
partitioned
into
chloroform,
cleaned
up
by
gel
permeation
and
Florisil
chromatography,
and
analyzed
by
GC/
FPD
(
sulfur
mode).
The
validated
LOQ
is
0.02
ppm.

For
livestock
commodities,
two
data
collection
methods
have
been
used:
EBT
SOP
271,
which
determines
residues
of
dimethipin
in
milk,
and
EBT
SOP
270,
which
determines
residues
of
dimethipin
in
cattle
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney.
Samples
are
extracted
with
acetonitrile
(
tissues)
or
ethyl
acetate
(
milk),
partitioned
with
petroleum
ether,
cleaned
up
by
alumina/
Florisil
or
silica
gel
column
chromatography,
and
analyzed
by
GC/
ECD.
The
validated
LOQ
is
0.01
ppm.
The
method
validation
recoveries
indicate
that
GC/
ECD
methods
EBT
SOP
270
and
EBT
SOP
271
are
adequate
for
data
collection
purposes
for
the
determination
of
residues
of
dimethipin
in
dairy
cattle
milk,
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney.

Two
methods
were
used
for
the
determination
of
1,2­
ethanedisulfonic
acid
(
EDSA)
in
cattle
kidney,
a
primary
method
and
a
confirmatory
method.
Kidney
samples
are
homogenized
with
water,
proteins
are
precipitated
with
potassium
ferrocyanide
and
zinc
acetate
solutions,
and
the
extract
is
cleaned
up
then
analyzed
by
HPLC
(
primary
method)
or
ion
chromatography
(
confirmatory
method)
with
conductivity
detection.
The
validated
LOQ
is
0.1
ppm
for
the
primary
method
and
0.2
ppm
for
the
confirmatory
method.

Enforcement
method:
For
enforcement
of
tolerances
for
residues
of
dimethipin,
PAM
Vol.
II
lists
two
methods,
Method
I
for
cottonseed
and
Method
II
for
livestock
tissues
and
eggs.
The
stated
detection
limits
are
0.1
ppm
for
cottonseed
and
0.02
ppm
for
livestock
commodities.
In
Method
I,
samples
are
extracted
with
methanol/
water,
the
extract
is
washed
with
hexane
to
remove
oil,
the
residues
are
partitioned
into
chloroform,
the
chloroform
extract
is
evaporated
to
dryness
and
redissolved
in
benzene/
chloroform,
and
the
extract
is
cleaned
up
on
a
Florisil/
alumina
column
prior
to
analysis
using
GC/
FPD.
In
Method
II,
samples
are
extracted
with
acetonitrile,
the
extract
is
washed
with
petroleum
ether,
the
acetonitrile
phase
is
evaporated
to
dryness
and
redissolved
in
benzene/
chloroform,
and
the
extract
is
cleaned
up
on
a
Florisil/
alumina
column
prior
to
analysis
by
GC/
MS
with
selected
ion
monitoring.

The
registrant
has
submitted
a
revised
version
of
the
enforcement
method
for
cottonseed
to
include
instructions
for
the
analysis
of
cottonseed
processed
commodities,
the
use
of
toluene
instead
of
benzene
as
a
solvent,
and
a
GPC
cleanup
step.
The
revised
method
has
undergone
adequate
independent
laboratory
validation.
The
requested
waiver
of
the
requirement
for
additional
method
validation
(
including
Agency
method
validation)
for
this
method
has
been
approved.
The
method
(
in
MRID
43109801)
should
be
forwarded
to
FDA
for
publication
in
PAM
Vol.
II
as
a
replacement
for
Method
I.

No
radiovalidation
data
are
available
for
any
dimethipin
enforcement
method.
It
was
concluded
in
the
Phase
4
Review
that
radiovalidation
data
were
not
needed
for
the
cottonseed
method
because
metabolism
studies
indicate
that
dimethipin
per
se
comprises
a
large
portion
of
the
residues.
We
note
that
the
extraction
procedures
of
the
enforcement
method
for
plant
commodities
are
similar
to
the
extraction
procedures
used
in
the
cotton
metabolism
study.

data
are
not
fulfilled.
Additional
storage
stability
data
are
required
to
support
the
limited
field
rotational
crop
studies.
Data
must
be
submitted
demonstrating
the
stability
of
residues
of
dimethipin
during
frozen
storage
for
up
to
8.5
months
in
lettuce
and
carrot
roots
and
tops,
9.5
months
in
oat/
wheat
forage,
and
6
months
in
oat/

grain
and
straw.
We
note
that
crop
field
trial
data
for
cotton
gin
byproducts
and
extensive
field
rotational
crop

are
required;
storage
stability
data
to
support
those
studies
will
be
required
unless
samples
are
analyzed
within
one
month
of
collection.

The
available

demonstrate
that
residues
of
dimethipin
are
stable
under
frozen
storage
conditions
for
up
to
one
year
in/
on
cottonseed.
Samples
of
cottonseed
from
the
crop
field
trial
studies
used
for
tolerance
reassessment
were
stored
frozen
for
4­
6
months
prior
to
analysis.

The
available
storage
stability
data
indicate
that
residues
of
dimethipin
are
stable
in
cottonseed
meal,
hulls,
and
oil
for
up
to
7
months
of
frozen
storage.
Cottonseed
samples
from
the
processing
study
were
stored
frozen
for
4­
7
months
prior
to
analysis.

The
available
storage
stability
data
indicate
that
residues
of
dimethipin
are
stable
in
dairy
cattle
milk,
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney
for
up
to
2
months
of
frozen
storage,
and
residues
of
EDSA
are
stable
in
cattle
kidney
for
up
to
178
days
of
frozen
storage.
In
the
feeding
study,
samples
of
milk
were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
43
days
prior
to
analysis
for
residues
of
dimethipin,
tissues
were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
22
days
prior
to

Crops
Dimethipin
is
presently
not
registered
for
direct
use
on
water
and
aquatic
food
and
feed
crops;
therefore,
no

Food
Handling
Dimethipin
is
presently
not

handling
establishments;
therefore,
no
residue
chemistry
data
are
required
under
this

Meat,
Milk,
Poultry,
and
Eggs
The
reregistration
requirements
for
magnitude
of
the
residue
in
meat,
milk,
poultry,
and
eggs
are
satisfied.

Currently,
there
are
no
registered
direct
animal
treatments
of
dimethipin
to
livestock;
however,
dimethipin
is
registered
for
use
on
the
livestock
feed
items
of
cotton.
The
tentative
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burdens
of
dimethipin
to
livestock
are
presented
in
Table
4.
We
note
that
these
calculations
are
tentative
because
field
trial
data
remain
outstanding
for
cotton
gin
byproducts,
a
feed
item
for
beef
and
dairy
cattle.
The
dietary
burden
for
cattle
is
calculated
based
on
the
worst
case
assumption
that
residues
in
cotton
gin
byproducts
would
not
exceed
residues
in
cottonseed
by
more
than
a
factor
of
50X.
This
assumption
was
based
on
the
comparison
of
thirteen
different
pesticides
that
had
separate
tolerances
for
cottonseed
and
cotton
gin
byproducts.
The
tolerances
on
cotton
gin
byproducts
were
less
than
or
equal
to
50
times
the
corresponding
tolerances
on
cottonseed.

A
dairy
cattle
feeding
study
with
dimethipin
has
been
conducted.
Dimethipin
was
administered
orally
to
11
Holstein
dairy
cattle
daily
for
28
days.
Dosing
was
made
at
5,
16,
and
55
ppm
in
the
feed,
equivalent
to
0.9x,
2.8x,
and
9.6x
the
tentative
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burden
to
beef
and
dairy
cattle.
Milk
samples
were
collected
twice
daily.
Cows
were
sacrificed
within
24
hours
of
the
final
dose,
and
samples
of
milk,
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney
were
collected.
Residues
of
dimethipin
were
below
the
limit
of
quantitation
(<
0.01
ppm)
in
samples
of
milk
(
collected
on
study
days
0,
7,
14,
21,
and
28),
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney
from
the
55­
ppm
dosing
group.
As
a
result,
samples
of
cattle
commodities
from
the
5­
and
16­
ppm
dosing
groups
were
not
analyzed.

The
registrant
did
not
collect
or
analyze
samples
of
fat
from
dosed
cattle
in
this
study.
Based
on
the
available
goat
metabolism
data,
which
indicated
that
total
radioactive
residues
were
lowest
in
fat
(
as
compared
with
muscle,
liver,
and
kidney)
following
dosing
with
[
14C]
dimethipin
at
levels
similar
to
and
greatly
exceeding
those
of
the
feeding
study,
HED
will
not
require
data
depicting
dimethipin
residues
in
cattle
fat.

The
available
ruminant
feeding
study
data
indicate
that
there
is
no
expectation
of
finite
residues
in
livestock
fat,
meat,
or
meatbyproducts.

The
registrant
also
submitted
data
from
analyses
of
kidney
samples,
from
the
above
described
feeding
study,
for
residues
of
a
dimethipin
metabolite,
1,2­
ethanedisulfonic
acid
(
EDSA).
Residues
of
EDSA
were
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.100
ppm)
in
samples
of
kidney
from
cattle
in
the
5­
ppm
dosing
group,
0.218­
0.376
ppm
in
kidney
from
the
16­
ppm
dosing
group,
and
0.315­
0.663
ppm
in
kidney
from
the
55­
ppm
dosing
group.
The
results
for
kidney
samples
from
the
55­
ppm
dosing
group
were
confirmed
by
a
second
laboratory;
residues
were
determined
to
be
0.22­
0.54
ppm
in
these
samples.

Based
on
the
results
of
the
poultry
metabolism
study,
the
Agency
has
concluded
that
there
is
no
reasonable
expectation
dimethipin
residues
in
poultry
commodities.
A
poultry
feeding
study
is
not
required.

with
cotton,
which
have
since
been

and
determined
to
be
adequate
to

Residues
of
dimethipin
were

treated
with
two

Additional
data,
from
field

conducted
in
CA,

indicate
that
the
residues
of
dimethipin
are
not
likely
to

Processed
Food
and

The
reregistration
requirements
for
magnitude
of
the
residue
in
processed
food/
feed
are
satisfied
for
cotton.
The
available
processing
data
indicate
that
residues
of
dimethipin
do
not
concentrate
in
cottonseed
meal
(
average
processing
factor
of
<
0.22x),

Two
additional
processing
studies
were
discussed
in
the
Phase
4
Review.
In
one
study,
dimethipin
was
found
to
concentrate
in
cottonseed
hulls
at
1.4x;
however,
the
study
utilized
cottonseed
fortified
in
the
laboratory
and
not
field­
weathered
samples.
In
a
second
study,
cottonseed
in
CA
and
LA
was
treated
with
dimethipin
at
exaggerated
rates;
dimethipin
residues
were
found
to
concentrate
1.4x
in

processed
from
the
CA
samples,
but
residues
did
not
concentrate
in

at
0.54
lb
ai/
A
(

the
maximum
seasonal
rate),
and
rotational
crops
of
lettuce,
carrots,
and
barley
were
planted
30
and
183
days
after
application.
Samples
of
immature
and
mature
lettuce,
immature
and
mature
carrot
root
and
top,
and
barley
forage,
grain,
and
straw
were
collected.
12
Total
radioactive
residues
accumulated
above
0.01
ppm
in
all
harvested
rotational
crop
commodities
at
both
plantback
intervals.
At
the
30­
day
plantback
interval,
the
highest
residues
were
observed
in
barley
forage
(
2.52
ppm),
and
the
lowest
residues
were
observed
in
carrot
root
(
immature
and
mature;
0.10
ppm)
and
barley
grain
(
0.02
ppm).
At
the
183­
day
plantback
interval,
the
highest
residues
were
observed
in
carrot
tops
(
immature
and
mature;
0.508­
0.705
ppm),
and
the
lowest
residues
were
observed
in
immature
carrot
root
(
0.017
ppm)
and
barley
grain
(
0.018
ppm).
In
the
30­
day
plantback
interval
samples,
dimethipin
was
identified
in
immature
and
mature
lettuce
(
0.064­
0.091
ppm),
mature
carrot
tops
(
0.024
ppm),
immature
and
mature
carrot
root
(
0.016­
0.039
ppm),
barley
forage
(
0.025
ppm),
and
barley
straw
(
0.012
ppm).
In
the
183­
day
plantback
interval
samples,
dimethipin
was
identified
in
immature
carrot
tops
(
0.041
ppm),
but
was
not
detected
in
any
other
matrix.
Metabolite
H­
5
(
hydroxylated
dimethipin)
was
identified
at
low
levels
in
barley
straw
from
the
30­
day
plantback
interval.
Additional
characterization
data
demonstrated
that
unidentified
radioactivity
generally
consisted
of
several
components,
each
of
which
comprised

0.05
ppm.
Two
additional
metabolites,
H­
80
(
dimethipin
cysteine
conjugate)
and
a
mercaptolactic
acid
conjugate,
were
identified
in
the
extracts
of
30­
DAT
immature
lettuce,
at
2.10%
TRR
(
0.023
ppm)
and
13.68%
TRR
(
0.151
ppm),
respectively.

The
results
of
the
confined
rotational
crop
study
indicate
that
dimethipin
is
extensively
metabolized
in
rotational
crops.
The
registrant
proposed
that
dimethipin
is
metabolized
in
rotational
lettuce
and
carrots
through
glutathione
conjugation
followed
by
degradation
to
cysteine
conjugates.
Further
oxidation
at
the
amino
group
leads
to
the
formation
of
mercaptolactic
acid
conjugates.

Field
Accumulation
in
Rotational
Crops
The
reregistration
requirements
for
field
accumulation
in
rotational
crops
are
not
satisfied.
The
available
limited
rotational
crop
studies
indicate
the
potential
for
dimethipin
residues
in
certain
rotated
crops
at
the
established
plantback
interval
(
6
months).
Extensive
field
rotational
crop
studies
must
be
submitted.

Currently,
a
6­
month
plantback
interval
is
established
for
all
rotational
crops
on
the
labels
for
EPA
Reg.
Nos.
400­
155
and
400­
398.
The

No.
400­
505
(
an
MAI

has
slightly
more
restrictive
rotational
crop
restrictions:
a
9­
month
plantback
interval
for
lettuce,
carrots,
onions,
and
spinach;
and
a
6­
month
plantback
interval
for
all
other
crops.

Two
limited
field
rotational
crop
studies
on
the
representative
crops
lettuce
(
leafy
vegetable),
carrot
(
root
and
tuber
vegetable),
and
wheat/
oat
(
small
grain)
reflecting
plantback
intervals
of
one
month
and
six
months
are
available.
Two
trials
were
conducted
for
each
crop
in
MS
and
TX
at
each
plantback
interval.
At
each
trial
site,
a
primary
crop
of
cotton
received
two
applications
of
a
4.9
lb/
gal
FlC
formulation
at
approximately
0.31
and
0.23
lb
ai/
A
(
1x
the
maximum
seasonal
rate).
Cotton
was
harvested,
disced
into
the
soil,
and
rotational
crops
were
planted
approximately
one
month
and
six
months
after
last
application
of
the
test
substance.
The
trial
sites
were
representative
of
the
areas
where
cotton
is
typically
grown.

Residues
of
dimethipin
were
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.02
ppm)
to
0.031
ppm
in
lettuce,
<
0.02
ppm
in
carrot
roots,
0.034­
0.071
ppm
in
carrot
tops,
0.027­
0.039
ppm
in
wheat
forage,
<
0.02
ppm
in
wheat
grain,
and
<
0.02­
0.023
ppm
in
wheat
straw
planted
one
month
after
application
of
13
dimethipin.
Residues
of
dimethipin
were
below
the
LOQ
(<
0.02
ppm)
in
lettuce,
<
0.02­
0.024

in
carrot

<
0.02­
0.180

in
oat
grain,
and
<
0.02­
0.021
ppm
in
oat
straw
planted
six
months
after
dimethipin
application.
At
both
plantback
intervals,
residues
were
highest
in
carrot
tops.

Adequate
supporting
storage
stability
data
are
required
before
these
studies
may
be
classified
as
acceptable.
The
submitted
data
indicate
that
at
a
minimum,
extensive
field
rotational
crop
studies
will
be
required
for
all
crops,
except
leafy
vegetables,
for
which
the
registrant
wishes
to
allow
a
6­
month
plantback
interval.
The
need
for
rotational
crop
tolerances
will
be
determined
upon
submission
of
the
studies.
