For tractor‐mounted applications: available RMM are insufficient. For knapsack applications: gloves during mixing/loading (ML) and application (A) and RPE during ML (EFSA, 2014).
For tractor‐mounted applications: gloves and RPE during ML and A, water‐soluble bags (ML) and closed cab (A). For knapsack applications: gloves and RPE (ML and A) (EFSA, 2014).
For tractor‐mounted applications: gloves and RPE (ML and A), water‐soluble bags. For knapsack applications: gloves (ML and A) and RPE (ML) (EFSA, 2014).
Please note that drift reducing nozzles are not applicable to knapsack applications (EFSA, 2014).
For tractor‐mounted applications: gloves (ML). For knapsack applications: gloves (ML and A) and RPE (ML) (EFSA, 2014).
For tractor‐mounted applications: gloves (ML and A), RPE (ML) and closed cab (A). For knapsack applications: gloves (ML) (EFSA, 2014).
For tractor‐mounted applications: no PPE/RPE required. For knapsack application: gloves (ML and A), RPE (ML) (EFSA, 2014).
For bystander/resident, the default buffer zone of 2–3 m for low crop application and 5 m for high crop application is not indicated as RMM.
