The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has an application for the approval of a new agricultural active constituent, metcamifen, for use as a herbicide safener applied as a seed treatment in sorghum, and a new product EPIVIO C Sorghum Seed Safener, containing Metcamifen, applied by Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd.

The APVMA has evaluated the chemistry aspects of metcamifen active constituent (identification, stability, physicochemical properties, manufacturing process, specifications, quality control procedures, batch analysis results and analytical methods) and found them to be acceptable.

The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed use of metcamifen would not be an undue toxicological hazard to the safety of people exposed to it during its handling and use.
