Terbufos was registered in Canada and considered to be severely restricted in 2004 following its re-evaluation (RRD2004-04, Re-evaluation of Terbufos), as indicated in a Notification of final regulatory action (NFRA) that was submitted to the Convention Secretariat on September 3rd, 2008. At that time, all uses were cancelled, but one use remained registered to allow for the development of transition strategies for the management of wireworms in sugar beets (REV2008-06, Update on the Use of Terbufos on Sugar Beets). As outlined in REV2008-06, the registration of this last use on sugar beets expired in 2012. Therefore, an updated NFRA was submitted to the Secretariat on January 30th, 2021 to confirm that terbufos is officially banned in Canada since August 1st, 2012.
