Abstract

The Regulation establishes requirements for the use of plant protection products. Users of plant protection products shall store plant protection products in their original packaging with legible labelling in the storage conditions which would ensure preservation of plant protection product such that they are usable. Plant protection products shall be stored in a facility suitable therefor, in case of a small amount of a plant protection product in a locked container or cabinet prescribed therefore, supplied with a danger warning sign used in case of toxic substances. A plant protection product shall be used in compliance with the instructions supplied on the labelling of the packaging of the plant protection product by adhering to the limitations on use specified therein, including the established buffer zone (the distance between the sprayed area and the water boundary in meters) and the prohibition to use the same plant protection product on the same field in consecutive years. Contamination of the place of treatment with disinfected seeds and the plant protection product used for disinfection shall be avoided. Use of disinfected seeds for food or feed is prohibited. Greenhouses shall be disinfected at the time when there are no plants therein. A greenhouse with plants may be disinfected in order to prevent spreading of plant pests. The plants which are in a greenhouse during disinfection shall be taken out of the greenhouse after the expiry of the re-entry period of the plant protection product.
