Pesticide Products in Croatia

Published in Poisons Beware

A listing of 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.

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.

Croatian Ministry of Health (MIZ) : the current listing of products which have been approved in Croatia (Registar biocidnih pripravaka) is accessible as an excel document from the link on this page. Note: not all the products in this list are necessarily still authorized for use in Croatia, as the list is not constantly updated.

For more details on the approval processes for pesticides and biocides, see 'Pesticides, Laws and Permits'.

For details of active substances in the pesticides, scientific sources about their possible adverse effects and their related products, please refer to our article 'Pesticides and Their Adverse Effects'.

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, ECHA has no code for herbicide approval as biocides)

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 - 15/12/2023.

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 May 2023, there are 28 glyphosate-based herbicides on the Phytosanitary Institute (FIS) list, of which just seven are no longer authorized. This is a selection, those with FIS numbers are still listed, those without were banned previously:
