Restrictions

Code Text Crop Buffer zone
NW701 Between treated areas which have an incline of more than 2 % and surface waters - including periodically but excluding occasionally water-bearing surface waters - there must be a buffer zone under complete plant cover. The buffer zone's protective function must not be impaired by the use of implements. It must be at least 10 m wide. This buffer zone is not necessary if: -sufficient catching systems are available for the water and soil transported by run-off, which do not flow into surface water or are not connected with the urban drainage system or -the product is used for conservation or no-tillage methods.
WP710 Damage is possible to replanted dicotyledonous intermediate crops and winter rape.
WH9161 The instructions for use must include a summary of weeds which can be controlled well, less well and insufficiently by the product, as well as a list of species and/or varieties showing which crops are tolerant of the intended application rate and which are not.
WP734 Damage is possible to the crop.
NT109 A buffer zone of at least 5 m must be kept from adjacent areas (except agriculturally or horticulturally used areas, roads, paths and public places). In addition, in an adjoining strip of at least 20 m, the product must be applied using loss reducing equipment which is registered in the index of 'Loss Reducing Equipment' of 14 October 1993 (Federal Gazette No 205, p. 9780) as amended, and be registered in at least drift reducing class 90 %. Neither loss reducing equipment nor a buffer zone of at least 5 m are required if the product is applied with portable plant protection equipment or if adjacent areas (field boundaries, hedges, groups of woody plants) are less than 3 m wide. A buffer zone of at least 5 m is also unnecessary if the product is applied in an area which has been declared by the Biologische Bundesanstalt in the "Index of regional proportions of ecotones" of 7 February 2002 (Federal Gazette no. 70 a of 13 April 2002), as amended, as agrarian landscape with a sufficient proportion of natural and semi-natural structures, or if evidence can be shown that adjacent areas (e.g. field boundaries, hedges, groups of woody plants) were planted on agriculturally or horticulturally used areas.
NW609 When applying the product on areas adjacent to surface waters - except only occasionally but including periodically water-bearing surface waters - the product must be applied observing the minimum buffer zone stated below. It is not necessary to observe this buffer zone if the product is applied using equipment which is registered in the index of 'Loss Reducing Equipment' of 14 October 1993 (Federal Gazette No 205, p. 9780) as amended. Irrespective of this, in addition to the minimum buffer zone for surface waters provided for by state law, § 6 (2) 2nd sentence of the 'PflSchG' (German Plant Protection Act) must be observed. Violations may be punished by fines of up to 50.000 Euro. 5 m
