Runner Beans and Rat Bait
Last October as a last resort I placed some rat pellets (difenacoum)
approximately 125gms in total down by the side of my garage. This area is always used for Summer flowers. Recently a relative who didn't know what I had done has erected Runner bean canes along the garage but not yet planted the beans. I have since owned up to laying the bait but my question is will it ever be possible to plant food plants in this area. Thanks. MC |

MC 2.3 Environmental Transport, Distribution, and Transformation Difenacoum does not enter the atmosphere, because of its low volatility. It is practically insoluble in water. Difenacoum is bound to soil particles and is not taken up by plants. The rate of degradation is relatively slow and depends on soil type. Residues in crops have never been detected in field studies. from http://www.inchem.org/documents/hsg/hsg/hsg095.htm ( Published by the World Health Organization for the International Programme on Chemical Safety (a collaborative programme of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organization) ) |
