WILDLIFE, MAMMALS AND BIRDS
WILDLIFE
PLOVER is not classified as ‘Harmful to game, wild birds and animals’.
MAMMALS AND BIRDS
No risk management is necessary to protect mammals and birds. PLOVER is of moderate toxicity to mammals and birds. The risk to wild mammals and birds feeding on treated areas is low due to the limited amount of residues likely to be consumed.
BEES
No risk management is necessary as PLOVER poses a low risk to honey bees. There is no requirement to avoid application of the product when bees may be foraging on flowering weeds in and around treated areas.
NON-TARGET INSECTS AND OTHER ARTHROPODS
No risk management is necessary. PLOVER poses a low risk to the range of arthropod species commonly found in and around treated fields e.g. ground beetles and ladybirds.
AQUATIC LIFE
PLOVER is classified as ‘Very toxic to aquatic organisms’.
PLOVER is highly toxic to certain aquatic species such as Daphnia and fish and is also moderately toxic to algae. However, in practice the risk to aquatic life is low if used as recommended. Care should be taken to ensure that surface waters or ditches are not contaminated with the product or used container.
No risk management is necessary. When used according to the label instructions there will not be sufficient contamination of water to present a risk to aquatic life.
Not categorised under the LERAP scheme.
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER, EARTHWORMS AND SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER
Difenoconazole is very persistent in soil. It is strongly absorbed to soil and not considered as mobile. Consequently there is a low risk of groundwater contamination.
EARTHWORMS
PLOVER is of low toxicity to earthworms and so will pose a low risk to earthworm populations in and around treated fields. No risk management necessary.
SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS
No risk management is necessary. No effects on soil microbial processes were found and so the risk is considered to be low.
NON-TARGET PLANTS
Difenoconazole has negligible activity on plants. Therefore, PLOVER should have no adverse effect on non-target plants.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL: USE PESTICIDES SAFELY
Care must be taken to minimise the risk of surface water contamination from farmyard and
field sources.
