Pesticide Products in Croatia

Published in Poisons Beware

A listing of selected pesticides which are, or have been in common use in Croatia, with the official warnings of their side-effects and the known side-effects of their active constituents.

Note: For a more comprehensive listing of active pesticide ingredients and related products, please see our article Pesticides and their Adverse Effects.

Chemical pesticides are by definition dangerous poisons, but very few people who sell, recommend or use them are aware of the potential harm each product can cause. The results of intensive chemical pesticide use have become all too apparent in terms of human and environmental health.

Official warnings
There are in the region of one hundred official 'Hazard Statements' warning of pesticide products' potential adverse effects and innumerable 'Precautionary Statements'. These are required for the labelling of potentially harmful registered pesticide products. Dangers are listed in Data Safety Sheets and on the labels of individual products. Dangers are designated in categories, with a code given for each.
 
The codes
Hazard statement codes consist of the letter H followed by the number 2 for physical hazards, 3 for human health hazards and 4 for environmental hazards. Two further numbers refer to the dangers more specifically. In some cases the letter H is preceded by EU. Precautionary statement codes are designated by the letter P, followed by 1 for general advice; 2 for preventive measures; 3 for responses in the case of accidents; 4 regulating storage; and 5 concerning safe disposal of unused residues and containers.
 
New additions to the warnings
In April 2023 new hazard clauses were added to the existing lists, with the codes and hazard statements as follows: EUH380, May cause endocrine disruption in humans; EUH381, suspected of causing endocrine disruption in humans; EUH430, May cause endocrine disruption in the environment; EUH431, suspected of causing endocrine disruption in the environment; EUH440 Accumulates in the environment and living organisms including in humans; EUH441, Strongly accumulates in the environment and living organisms including in humans; EUH450, Can cause long-lasting and diffuse contamination of water resources; EUH451, Can cause very long-lasting and diffuse contamination of water resources.
 
Product warnings: flaws
Oddly, dangers to bees and non-target organisms are not included within the main hazard warnings, but in a sub-category headed SPe. The code SPe8, way down the list, specifies danger to bees and other pollinators, advising that the product should not be used when plants, including weeds, are in flower. Even more strangely, the warning is not present in the labels of every pesticide which consists of active ingredients which are known to be dangerous to bees. In particular, insecticides, by definition, are potentially dangerous for all pollinators, and are commonly used during the spring and summer when most plants are in flower. There is no pictogram for bees and other beneficial insects. Is it surprising that bee populations are in decline everywhere where chemical pesticdes are used?

 
 
In some cases, the product warnings do not reflect the risks associated with the active ingredients in the substance. Product warning labels are not always clear, despite the use of pictograms. In Safety Data Sheets, the complete list of hazards usually appears only in Article 16 right at the end of the document, instead of at the beginning, where it would stand a greater chance of being read.

Warnings ineffective?
The warnings are obviously serious, yet who takes them seriously? Who understands them, or even looks at them?
Manufacturers and sellers of chemical pesticides relentlessly highlight the supposed benefits of using them alongside the supposed risks of harm, damage and/or loss if people don't use them. Even when end-users are aware of the dangers, a substantial number believe that the risks are exaggerated or that they don't matter. Official precautions are ignored. Bans have virtually no effect: many farmers resolutely stick to the products they are used to, even if it means procuring and using them illegally.
 
Warnings not highlighted
Chemical pesticide use is promoted through relentless propaganda by agrochemical companies, advertisements in all the media, recommendations by agronomists, even decrees by government and local authority agencies. The risks of any product are not highlighted at any stage, from the placing of a pesticide product on the market to the point of sale or end-use.
 
THE WARNINGS SHOULD COME FIRST!
The warnings are too serious to ignore, they should be up-front on every pesticide product label and should be stated first when any product is recommended by an authority or offered for sale to a buyer, whether a wholesaler, retailer or end-user.

OUR LIST OF COMMONLY USED PESTICIDES IN CROATIA Pesticides banned by the Croatian Phytosanitary Institute (FIS) and/or the Croatian Ministry of Health (MIZ) are marked in red. Where a product is approved as a 'plant protector' by FIS but not as a biocide by MIZ and vice versa, a red asterisk * denotes banned by FIS, and a  black asterisk * banned by MIZ. Our list is in alphabetical order by categories: Insecticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Limacides, Raticides. The numbers given before products are those from the relevant list of the Ministry of Agriculture Phytosanitary Institute or the Ministry of Health.

Note: In this English listing we have included adverse effects of active ingredients for each product. We have not always included details of the product warnings, as most of the Safety Data Sheets are in Croatian. You can find those details, with the hazard and warning numbers and the pictograms in the Croatian version 'Pesticidni proizvodi u Hrvatskoj'.

HERBICIDES (Authorized as 'plant protection products' by the EU, not approved as biocides by the ECHA)
 
ABOUT GLYPHOSATE-BASED HERBICIDES: There are at least some 750 glyphosate-based herbicides available in the world markets. Eleven of them, including the widely used Roundup (Cidokor in Croatian), were banned in the EU in 2016. Apart from these, Glyphosate is approved in the EU, 16/12/2017 - 15/12/2033.
Glyphosate, suspected possible adverse effects -in humans: carcinogenic; neurotoxic; genotoxic; contributes to antibiotic resistance; influences pregnancy, fertility, and birth defects; endocrine disruptor; damages DNA, gut bacteria, organs including liver, kidneys and spleen; contributes to Parkinson's Disease and autism. Possible environmental ill-effects: damage to water, fish, aquatic organisms, soil, soil organisms, bees, butterflies, gastropods, trees, plants.
For more information about the scientific studies concerning glyphosate, see our article 'Glyphosate herbicides, scientific evidence'
As at February 2024, there were 28 glyphosate-based herbicides on the Phytosanitary Institute (FIS) list, two of which were no longer authorized. This is a selection, for a fuller overview see our article Pesticides and their Adverse Effects.

  • Almost all countries failing to meet mark for PM2.5, tiny particles expelled by vehicles and industry that can cause health problems

    Only seven countries are meeting an international air quality standard, with deadly air pollution worsening in places due to a rebound in economic activity and the toxic impact of wildfire smoke, a new report has found.

    Of 134 countries and regions surveyed in the report, only seven – Australia, Estonia, Finland, Grenada, Iceland, Mauritius and New Zealand – are meeting a World Health Organization (WHO) guideline limit for tiny airborne particles expelled by cars, trucks and industrial processes.

  • Court of appeal’s removal of ‘consent’ defence means defendants on trial for criminal damage can no longer use it in England and Wales

    It took a matter of minutes in the court of appeal, where demonstrators were strangely absent, for the dial to shift once more on the rights of protest in England and Wales.

    The decision taken on Monday by the court of appeal to, in effect, find in favour of the attorney general, the Conservative government’s premier legal officer, has removed a defence for climate protesters that had been available on the statute books since 1971.

  • Academic experts also criticise UN Food and Agriculture Organization for dismissing alternative proteins

    The omission of meat-eating reduction from proposals in a UN roadmap to tackle the climate crisis and end hunger is “bewildering”, according to academic experts.

    The group also criticised the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s report for “dismissing” the potential of alternative proteins, such as plant-based meat, to reduce the impact of livestock on the environment.

  • Perhaps our government imagines bulldog spirit will protect us from the dangerous substances that Europe rules unsafe

    It’s a benefit of Brexit – but only if you’re a manufacturer or distributor of toxic chemicals. For the rest of us, it’s another load we have to carry on behalf of the shysters and corner-cutters who lobbied for the UK to leave the EU.

    The government insisted on a separate regulatory system for chemicals. At first sight, it’s senseless: chemical regulation is extremely complicated and expensive. Why replicate an EU system that costs many millions of euros and employs a small army of scientists and administrators? Why not simply adopt as UK standards the decisions it makes? After all, common regulatory standards make trading with the rest of Europe easier. Well, now we know. A separate system allows the UK to become a dumping ground for the chemicals that Europe rules unsafe.

  • Installations must speed up 11-fold as advisers say latest changes to scheme likely to make 2028 target even harder

    The public spending watchdog has criticised the slow pace of the government’s heat pump rollout just days after ministers postponed an important scheme designed to increase the rate of installations.

    A report by the National Audit Office (NAO) has found that heat pump installations would need to accelerate 11-fold if the government is to reach its target for 600,000 heat pumps installed in homes every year by 2028.

  • Ballachrink, Isle of Man: My monthly bird survey started so slowly that I nearly gave up – I would have missed a ‘first’ for this site if I had

    Quietly opening the shutters of the hide, I have before me a “lake”, which almost anywhere else in the world would be termed a humble pond. I am smug to have the whole reserve to myself and settle down, marvelling at seeing the same view twice at once, reflected in the serene, mirror-flat water.

    Each month, I and thousands of like-minded volunteers, undertake bird surveys across the country for the British Trust for Ornithology. At first glance, my visit today appears to be a disappointment. After five whole minutes, I haven’t seen a single bird on the lake. Dejected, I consider moving on, but my instinct tells me to sit for a while.

  • A traditionally male-dominated industry is being quietly transformed by an influx of talent who don’t fit the stereotype

    Back in the 1970s, Holly Collins was studying for her A-levels in Sussex. While her friends sent off their university applications, she wrote to the Royal Agricultural College asking for an entry form, hoping to follow her dream of becoming a farmer.

    “They wrote back with the following answer: ‘Dear Miss Collins, we do not admit women.’”

  • GPs with convictions over protests face tribunals to determine whether they can keep licence to practise

    Dr Sarah Benn has long been concerned about the climate crisis, diligently recycling until she was “blue in the face”. But the rise of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion in 2019 inspired her and her husband to go further. “We thought: well, if we don’t do it then who else is going to?”

    While working as a GP near Birmingham, Benn became increasingly involved in direct action over the next few years, and once glued her hand to the door of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy in protest at the government’s inaction on the climate.

  • Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk: On a day spent picking horse poo from the pasture, I welcome this Celtic charm

    I am up to my ankles in thick mud, scraping horse poo up from a waterlogged pasture. It’s been a tough winter for anyone who spends lots of time outdoors. East Anglia has recorded its wettest (and warmest) February on record, with endless drab days of persistent rain.

    Poo-picking helps to keep the pasture palatable and reduces the parasitic worms that can infect the horses, but it’s hard work. My wheelbarrow is nearly full of muck, and the hill looms. I wonder if I may give up halfway, stuck in mud, my lifeless body waiting to be found. Yet I push through the mire and take a breather halfway, heart racing.

  • Researchers found that the Victorians brought so many seeds and saplings to Britain that experts say the giant redwoods now outnumber those in their US homeland

    Three giant redwoods tower over Wakehurst’s Elizabethan mansion like skyscrapers. Yet at 40 metres (131ft) high, these are almost saplings – not even 150 years old and already almost twice as high as Cleopatra’s Needle.

    “At the moment they’re some of the tallest trees in the UK and they are starting to poke above the forest canopy. But if they grow to their full potential, they’re going to be three times taller than most trees,” says Dr Phil Wilkes, part of the research team at Wakehurst, in West Sussex, an outpost of Kew Gardens. One or two of these California imports would be curiosities, such as the 100-metre high redwood that was stripped of its bark in 1854 and exhibited to Victorian crowds at the Crystal Palace in south-east London, until it was destroyed by fire in 1866.
