Soybean meal                                       9                                               -

Note:- The current MRLs applies to the residue of glyphosate only.- Residue definition of the proposed MRLs for enforcement:   For maize, soybean and soybean meal: Sum of glyphosate and N-acetylglyphosate, expressed as glyphosate;   For other crops: Glyphosate.- Hay includes hay and fodder (dry), straw, forage (green) and silage.
