Should a New Miticide for Greenhouse Ornamentals Be Approved?
Official title: Consultation on Nealta Miticide, containing cyflumetofen, Proposed Registration Decision PRD2025-17
Health Canada wants to approve a new pesticide called Nealta Miticide for killing spider mites on greenhouse flowers and plants. The active ingredient is cyflumetofen. Greenhouse growers asked for this product through a special program for minor agricultural uses.
Why This Matters
Work in a greenhouse? This could give you a new tool against spider mites. For most Canadians, this is a technical approval that won't affect daily life. The product is only for commercial greenhouse ornamentals, not food crops or home gardens.
What Could Change
If approved, Nealta Miticide would be registered for sale in Canada. Greenhouse operators could legally use it to control spider mites on ornamental plants. Health Canada would publish a final Registration Decision.
