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.
