Lower losses of pesticides to aquatic environments

Type: Effect

Links from: Item Link details Reduce pesticide losses from hard surfaces Trap and prevent pollutants or sediment reaching watercourses Reduce soil erosion from arable fields Reduce the amount of synthetic fungicides on food crops Reduce the amount of synthetic insecticides on food crops Reduce the amount of synthetic herbicides on food crops Reduce the amount of synthetic insecticides on non-food crops (incl grass and forage) Reduce the amount of synthetic herbicides on non-food crops (incl grass and forage) Reduce the amount of synthetic fungicides on non-food crops (incl grass and forage) Reduce pesticide spray drift Decrease the rapid transfer of pesticides into drainage systems Reduce the amount of pesticide in drainage water Create collection ponds for drainage outflow Only use mechanical means (do not use chemicals) to clean your ditches or trim your bank
