Profile
1. WILDLIFE
Mammals
and
Birds
Hatra is not classified as “Harmful to game, wild birds and animals.”
No risk management is necessary to protect mammals and birds.
Hatra
is of low toxicity to birds and low toxicity to mammals. The risk
to wild mammals and birds grazing on treated areas is low, as is the
risk due to exposure from other routes, e.g. consumption of
earthworms or other invertebrates such as insects.
2. BEES
No risk management necessary
Hatra is of low risk to bees. There is no requirement to avoid
application of Hatra when bees may be foraging on flowering weeds.
3. NON TARGET
INSECTS
AND OTHER
ARTHROPODS
No risk management necessary.
Hatra poses low risk to a range of arthropod species commonly found
in and around treated fields for example ground beetles, ladybirds,
spiders and aphid parasitoids.
4. AQUATIC LIFE
Hatra is “Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Do not
contaminate water with the product or its container”.
Risk management is essential.
Hatra is extremely toxic to aquatic plants, and highly toxic to fish,
algae and aquatic invertebrates. However, the product may be used
safely providing care is taken to prevent spray drift reaching surface
waters. The following risk management practices must be carried out:

4. AQUATIC LIFE
DO NOT ALLOW DIRECT SPRAY from horizontal boom sprayers to
fall within 5 m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing water body,
unless a Local Environmental Risk Assessment for Pesticides
(LERAP) permits a narrower buffer zone, or within 1 m of the top of a
ditch which is dry at the time of application. DO NOT ALLOW
DIRECT SPRAY from hand-held sprayers to fall within 1 m of the top
of the bank of a static or flowing waterbody. Aim spray away from
water.
LERAP Category B. Buffer zone may be reduced
5. SOIL and
GROUNDWATER
Mesosulfuron-methyl is moderately persistent and moderately mobile
in soil. Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium is impersistent in soil and highly
mobile; its major, herbicidally-active metabolite metsulfuron-methyl is
moderately persistent in soil and highly mobile. Field investigations
indicate that in practice there is a low risk to groundwater where the
product is used according to the label.
No risk management is necessary.
Earthworms
No risk management is necessary. Hatra is of low toxicity to
earthworms.
Soil
Micro-organisms
No risk management is necessary. Hatra is of low toxicity to soil
micro-organisms
6. NON-TARGET
PLANTS
Hatra is a broad spectrum, highly active herbicide. Therefore, there is
a potential risk to non-target plants adjacent to the treated area.
‘Take extreme care to avoid drift onto crops and non-target plants
outside the target area.’
Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information
before use. For further product information including warning phrases and symbols
