[QUOTE="milkloss, post: 6928562, member: 56"] I've been having a google.... very dangerous thing..... found this snippet from a natural England booklet in 1999 ---- Herbicides with label recommendations which include use through a weedwiper: Roundup, and two which have off label approval - Dow Shield and Grazon 90. Table 7.1 provides further details. However, any herbicide can be used in a weed wipe machine provided it is not specifically prohibited from use by this method on the product label and as long as other conditions are complied with. Subject to this, reduced volume application via weed wipes of herbicides is acceptable up to 10 times the recommended maximum concentration on the label subject to compliance with carrying out a comprehensive COSHH assessment and that paragraph 146 of the Code of Practice for the safe Use of Pesticides on farms and holdings (MAFF/HSC 1998) is complied with, ie pesticides should not be applied with lower volumes of water than the label recommends for that dose if the label i) prohibits reduced or low volume spraying ii) requires the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when the pesticide product is diluted to the minimum volume rate recommended on the label for that dose or iii) has one of the following hazard warnings “corrosive”, “very toxic” or “toxic” or carries the phrase “risk of serious damage to eyes”. ---- does it still ring true?
