Code of practice for the management of agrichemicals
This Code of Practice has been prepared with the aim of ensuring that where agrichemicals are handled or used, the practices followed are safe, responsible, and effective, with minimal adverse impact on human, environmental and animal health. This is consistent with the principles of sustainable management of natural and physical resources, as required by the Resource Management Act 1991 and in the regional plans prepared by Regional Councils. Specifies the requirements for the commercial use of agrichemicals for applicators (e.g. farmers and growers), contractors (e.g. aerial and ground application, and veterinarians) and distributors (e.g. manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers). It covers agricultural compounds, being any substance, mixture of substances or biological compound, used or intended for use in the direct management of plants and animals, or to be applied to the land, place or water on or in which the plants or animals are managed.
