[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 6773082, member: 48190"] Pesticide regulations clearly apply to [U]marketing[/U] of plant protection products. Only approved products containing authorised active ingredients, wetters, synergists and other additives can be sold. I am not clear on the situation if you want, say, to use common salt as a herbicide. It is not sold as a pesticide. I cannot find anything that says you cannot use it or indeed other common chemicals bearing in mind REACH, COSSH and other regulations. Like many other basic chemicals it is no longer approved as 'basic substance'. I suppose being listed as a basic substance meant that it could be offered as plant protection product and without basic substance approval it is illegal to offer it it as a herbicide. Clearly it can be sold for washing up machines etc. I have searched the regulations for clarification in vain - can anyone help? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
