                    [Summary] => 

The Department of Agriculture has regulated the use of Chlorpyrifos insecticide on mango and other crops due to its negative effects in the mango export industry. 


This was learned after the DA found out that improper use of Chlorpyrifos produced residues beyond the maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.05 ppm (parts per million) set by Japan for Philippine mangoes. 


In a report, Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare had implemented last year the new MRL of this chemical from 0.5 ppm to 0.05 ppm.

Magsaysay sounded the alarm after receiving reports that Chlorpyrifos is still being used in excessive dosage by farmers on mangoes, particularly in Davao, where the bulk of mango for export is sourced during the off season in Luzon.
