Code Text Crop Buffer zone
NT109-1 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 10 September 2013 (Federal Gazette AT 23.10.2013 B4) 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.

NT103-1 In a strip at least 20 m wide which is adjacent to other areas, the product must be applied using loss reducing equipment which is registered in the index of 'Loss Reducing Equipment' of 10 September 2013 (Federal Gazette AT 23.10.2013 B4) as amended, and be registered in at least drift reducing class 90 % (except agriculturally or horticulturally used areas, roads, paths and public places). Loss reducing equipment is not 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 or 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.

NG373.1182 This application is only permitted if no products containing the active substance cyantraniliprole have been used on the same area within the two previous calendar years.
NG371.1182 To protect the groundwater, during one calendar year the following parameters must not be exceeded: 1. the maximum application rate of the active substance cyantraniliprole per hectare resulting from the content of active substance, the specified application rate of the product and the specified number of treatments, 2. the maximum number of treatments for the crop and per year. When considering the maximum application rate and the maximum number of treatments, other applications of plant protection products containing this active substance on the same area have to be taken into account.
SF276-21ZB During the first 21 days after application in ornamentals and nursery, it must be ensured that long-sleeved working clothes, sturdy footwear and protective gloves are worn during successive work/inspections with direct contact with the treated crops/areas.
NW607-2 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 with equipment which is registered in the index of 'Loss Reducing Equipment' of 10 September 2013 (Federal Gazette AT 23.10.2013 B4) as amended. Depending on the drift reduction classes for the equipment stated below, the following buffer zones must be kept from surface waters. In addition to the minimum buffer zone from surface waters stipulated by state law, the ban on application in or in the immediate vicinity of waters must be observed at all times for drift reduction classes marked with "*".
