[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7860068, member: 2119"] The thing I find about a lot of this training for example on LERAPS is that it presents a multitude of confusing options and bumf to read through, some of which will apply to your situation. Riddling out the good grain from the chaff is the problem. A simple operator like myself really needs to be guided to a practical pragmatic way forward. But instead we go home and end up having to work it out for ourselves anyway and the critical weakness in the system is that nobody actually helps you with this or checks you have got it right until some inspector arrives and pulls you up on it. So over the years I have learned that if it’s LERAPS A or B I just shutoff 6 m alongside the watercourse unless the label advises a bigger buffer zone. Read the label carefully. If really pushed in LERAPS B I could put on 1/4 dose in the 6m next to watercourse or use 3* nozzles in the 6m section, operating them at a low enough pressure to achieve that 3* rating but it needs a recalculation of speeds and volumes used and another circuit of the headland doing just 6m so it’s hardly a practical proposition. We used to have 6m grass margins of course but then that became a bit iffy on the legal / contractual side with DEFRA. Never easy is it? [/QUOTE]
