LERAP stands for Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides and applies to ALL boom spraying operations, whether agricultural or amenity near water or potential water carrying ditches (even dry). All products are graded under the LERAP scheme and all the information is in the statutory box on the label.

The categories are:

A 5 metre buffer zone required - Not eligible for reduction.
B 5 metre buffer zone required but can be reduced with LERAP measures
C No buffer zone required
