EU restricts application of herbicide haloxyfop-P
Dec. 11, 2015
Due to risk concern for groundwater, the European Commission once required further confirmatory information for herbicide haloxyfop-P on the risk for groundwater contamination by its soil metabolites. Recently, the Commission concluded that the further information required has not fully been provided and that an unacceptable risk for groundwater cannot be excluded except by imposing further restrictions. The restriction includes: setting limits to the rates and frequency of its application.
Only uses as herbicide may be authorised at rates not exceeding 0,052 kg active substance per hectare per application, and only one application may be authorised every 3 years.
The Commission required that Member States shall amend or withdraw existing authorisations for plant protection products containing haloxyfop-P by 23 June 2016.
Any grace period granted by Member States shall be as short as possible and shall expire by 23 June 2017 at the latest.
