    THIRAM

    Explanation

         Information on the use pattern of thiram was received from two
    countries and limited data on residues from supervised trials from
    only one country.

    Residue and analytical aspects

         The meeting recognized that thiram, which has a fungicidal
    spectrum different from that of the ethylenebisdithiocarbamates, is
    used on several crops simultaneously or alternately with the latter
    compounds, but the available data were insufficient to evaluate the
    residue situation.
