3 Risk management
3.1 Reasoned statement of the overall conclusions taken in accordance with the
Uniform Principles
3.1.1 Physical and chemical properties (Part B, Section 1, Points 2 and 4)
Overall Summary:
UKS 150C is a GR formulation containing 18.2 % w/w ferrous sulphate monohydrate (16.3 % ferrous
sulphate, 6 % iron). The PPP was not the representative formulation considered for annex 1 inclusion
(approval) of the active substance.
The sample consisted of free-flowing granules which were not uniform in colour. The granules were
mainly brown and light brown with occasional light blue and cream. The granules ranged in size from
1 mm to 2 mm in diameter. They had a free flowing consistency, with no sign of clumping, caking or
compaction. No strong odour was noted. The formulation is not explosive, flammable or oxidising.
The physical and chemical and storage stability data were generated on a different formulation to the one
for which authorisation is being sought. However, as outlined in section C of the RR the data can be
extrapolated to UKS 150C.
The formulation is categorised as nearly dust free and based on the particle size data >1 % of particles do
not have a diameter of less than 50 µm. Hence no further consideration is required. The attrition
resistance of the particles was acceptable.
The flowability of the formulation was poor. It does not meet the requirements of all the material passing
through the sieve with a maximum 5 liftings. The poor flowability raises the following concerns:
• It may not be possible to apply the PPP through the standard operating equipment satisfactorily.
• The granules during storage under pressure (which would be encountered for the flexible packs)
may not maintain their integrity and the physical and chemical properties could potentially be
adversely affected.
To address these issues the applicant provided interim ambient storage data for 1 year of storage. The PPP
was stored under pressure. The physical and chemical properties determined were acceptable and indicate
that storage under pressure will have no impact on the PPP.
However, these interim storage stability data do not address the issue of the satisfactory application of the
PPP through the standard operating equipment. Such equipment subjects the granules to high
temperatures and pressures during application as experienced in the flowability test. Ambient storage
under pressure does not address this issue. It may be the case that the use of the standard application
equipment is not relevant to this PPP. But the applicant has not addresses this use. Authorisation is
therefore subject to the operator exposure assessment considering this issue.
It should be noted that in the interim study provided for ambient storage the active content was not
determined prior to and after storage. This is not an issue in the context of the use of this study in this
Part A National Assessment - Federal Republic of Germany
UKS150C 008047-00/00
Registration Report –Central Zone Page 11 of 28
Applicant (Scott Celaflor GmbH) Evaluator Germany Date 10/10/2016
assessment. However, the lack of data may be an issue if the study is required to fully support the ambient
storage of a PPP.
There was an acceptable retention of the physical and chemical properties of the PPP following
accelerated storage. Interim ambient storage data indicate that the formulation will be stable for 12
months when stored in the flexible packaging for 12 months.
Data must be provided showing satisfactory chemical and physical properties for the product and their
retention after ambient storage in the commercial packaging for two years.
Implications for labelling: none
Compliance with FAO guidelines:
The product UKS150 C complies with the general requirements according to the FAO/WHO manual
(2010).
Compatibility of mixtures:
No mixtures are recommended for UKS 150 C.
Nature and characteristics of the packaging:
Information with regard to type, dimensions, capacity, size of opening, type of closure, strength,
leakproofness, resistance to normal transport & handling, resistance to & compatibility with the contents
of the packaging, have been submitted, evaluated and is considered to be acceptable.
Nature and characteristics of the protective clothing and equipment:
Information regarding the required protective clothing and equipment for the safe handling of UKS150C
has been provided and is considered to be acceptable.
3.1.2 Methods of analysis (Part B, Section 2, Point 5)
3.1.2.1 Analytical method for the formulation (Part B, Section 2, Point 5.2)
A fully validated ICP-OES method of analysis is available for the determination of iron in the PPP.
3.1.2.2 Analytical methods for residues (Part B, Section 2, Points 5.3 – 5.8)
Analytical methods for the monitoring of iron-(II)-sulfate residues in food of plant and animal origin, soil
and air are not required due to the nature of the compound and the intended use. During the EU peer
review, a data gap has been identified for an analytical method for iron in water with a LOQ of 0.2 mg/L.
This data gap can be addressed in the context of the next renewal of the approval of iron-(II)-sulfate
according to Reg. (EC) No 1107/2009. A method for body fluids and tissues is not required as the active
substance is not classified as toxic or very toxic.
3.1.3 Mammalian Toxicology
If used properly and according to the intended conditions of use, adverse health effects for operators,
workers, bystanders and residents will not be expected.
As a result of the German assessment no additional evaluation is regarded necessary to cover the national
situation. For further details please refer to the registration report of the zonal RMS UK.

3.1.4 Residues and Consumer Exposure
3.1.4.1 Residues
Not relevant. UKS 150C is only intended to be used in non crop area (lawn).
3.1.4.2 Consumer exposure
Not relevant. UKS 150C is only intended to be used in non crop area (lawn).
3.1.5 Environmental fate and behaviour (Part B, Section 5, Point 9)
A full exposure assessment for the plant protection product UKS150C in its intended uses on lawn is
documented in detail in the core assessment of the plant protection product UKS150C dated from May
2013 performed by UK.
The following chapters summarise specific exposure assessment for soil and surface water and the
specific risk assessment for groundwater for the authorization of UKS150Cin Germany according to its
intended use on lawn (Use No. 00-001).
Metabolites
No new study on the fate and behaviour of Iron sulfate or UKS150C has been performed. Hence no
potentially new metabolites need to be considered for environmental risk assessment.
3.1.5.1 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Soil (PECsoil) (Part B, Section 5, Points
9.4 and 9.5)
For the intended use of the plant protection product UKS150C on lawn according to use No 00-001
PECsoil was calculated for the active substance Iron sulfate considering a soil depth of 2.5 cm. As a
worst-case scenario it is assumed that UKS150C is applied in one cumulative application of 114.1 kg Iron
sulfate/ha (equals 42 kg/ha iron and 72.1 kg/ha sulfate).
Compared to the natural content of iron and sulfate the additions are very small and consequently, no
unreasonable effects are expected from the use of FeSO4, even if repeated applications over multiple
years were to be assumed.
Details are given in Part B National Addendum-Germany, Section 5, chapter 5.5.
The results for PEC soil for the active substance and the metabolites were used for the eco-toxicological
risk assessment.
3.1.5.2 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Ground Water (PECGW) (Part B,
Section 5, Point 9.6)
For plant protection products that are applied as granules only exposure of surface water by run off is
considered. Furthermore, degradation of the active substance between application and runoff event is not
applicable. The exposure of dust drift is not considered in that case because of the simple application
equipment (hand spreading or rotary/wheeled spreader) of the granule formulation for non professional
use.
In (soil) solution, iron (II) is rapidly oxidised into iron (III) forming insoluble oxide/hydroxide species.
The identical reaction occurs in aerated, natural surface waters leads to the rapid formation of the
insoluble ferric form of iron. Thus, iron in surface water exists primarily in the insoluble ferric form,
either as settled or suspended sediment, and will be unavailable to aquatic organisms. Therefore, the
Part A National Assessment - Federal Republic of Germany
UKS150C 008047-00/00
Registration Report –Central Zone Page 14 of 28
Applicant (Scott Celaflor GmbH) Evaluator Germany Date 10/10/2016
predicted environmental concentrations in surface water were only calculated for the possible
bioavailable compounds Fe2+ and SO42- in the annex 1 assessment of Iron sulfate which covers the
intended uses of UKS150C on lawn.
The expected levels of iron and sulfate in surface water due to the intended use of the formulation
UKS150C on lawn will not significantly influence the natural background concentration of iron and
sulfate found in the aqueous environment.
Details are given in Part B, National Addendum-Germany, Section 5, chapter 5.6.
The results for PEC surface water for the active substance and its metabolites were used for the eco-
toxicological risk assessment.
3.1.5.3 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Surface Water (PECSW) (Part B, Section
5, Points 9.7 and 9.8)
For plant protection products that are applied as granules only exposure of surface water by run off is
considered. Furthermore, degradation of the active substance between application and runoff event is not
applicable. The exposure of dust drift is not considered in that case because of the simple application
equipment (hand spreading or rotary/wheeled spreader) of the granule formulation for non professional
use.
In (soil) solution, iron (II) is rapidly oxidised into iron (III) forming insoluble oxide/hydroxide species.
The identical reaction occurs in aerated, natural surface waters and leads to the rapid formation of the
insoluble ferric form of iron. Thus, iron in surface water exists primarily in the insoluble ferric form,
either as settled or suspended sediment, and will be unavailable to aquatic organisms. Therefore, the
predicted environmental concentrations in surface water were only calculated for the possible
bioavailable compounds Fe2+ and SO42- in the annex 1 assessment of Iron sulfate which covers the
intended uses of UKS150C on lawn.
The expected levels of iron and sulfate in surface water due to the intended use of the formulation
UKS150C on lawn will not significantly influence the natural background concentration of iron and
sulfate found in the aqueous environment.
Details are given in Part B, National Addendum-Germany, Section5, chapter 5.6.
The results for PEC surface water for the active substance and its metabolites were used for the eco-
toxicological risk assessment.
3.1.5.4 Predicted Environmental Concentration in Air (PECAir) (Part B, Section 5, Point
9.9)
The fate and behaviour in air of iron sulfate was evaluated during the Annex I Inclusion. No additional
studies have been performed. It is not anticipated that iron or sulfate will readily partition into the air
compartment under normal environmental conditions.
The vapour pressure at 20 °C of iron sulfate is < 10-5 Pa. Hence it is regarded as non-volatile. Therefore
aerial transport and exposure of surface water by the active substance due to deposition following
volatilization does not need to be considered.
Implications for labelling resulting from environmental fate assessment: (Phrase Rxx should
be added to the label)

3.1.6 Ecotoxicology (Part B, Section 6, Point 10)
A full risk assessment according to Uniform Principles for the plant protection product UKS150C in its
intended uses lawn is documented in detail in the core assessment of the plant protection product
UKS150C dated from May 2013 performed by UK. The intended use of UKS150C in Germany is
generally covered by the uses evaluated in the course of the core assessment by UK.
The authorization in UK is not linked with any risk mitigation measures regarding effects on non-target
organisms (see Part A, National Assessment – UK, May 2013).
The following chapters summarise specific risk assessment for non-target organisms and hence risk
mitigation measures for the authorization of UKS150C in Germany according to its intended use on lawn
(use No. 00-001).
3.1.6.1 Effects on Terrestrial Vertebrates (Part B, Section 6, Points 10.1 and 10.3)
The risk assessment for effects on birds and other terrestrial vertebrates was carried out according to the
European Food Safety Authority Guidance Document on Risk Assessment for Birds and Mammals on
request from EFSA (EFSA Journal 2009; 7(12): 1438).
Birds
According to the assessment scheme for granular formulations of the EFSA guidance document on risk
assessment for birds and mammals birds may be exposed to granules in different ways:
- By ingestion of granules as a source of food
- By ingestion of granules as grit
- By ingestion of granules when eating food contaminated with soil
- By consuming food contaminated with residues of the granules
Tier 1 toxicity/exposure ratios (TER) for acute and long-term exposure of birds to UKS150C for all
scenarios resulted in TER values above the trigger so that refined assessments were not necessary. A low
risk from dietary exposure was concluded after calculation of the tier 1 assessments.
Furthermore an acceptable risk for birds for exposure via contaminated drinking water can be concluded.
For details see core assessment, Part B, section 6.
Terrestrial vertebrates (other than birds)
According to the assessment scheme for granular formulations of the EFSA guidance document on risk
assessment for birds and mammals vertebrates other than birds may be exposed to granules in different
ways:
- By ingestion of granules as a source of food
- By ingestion of granules when eating food contaminated with soil
- By consuming food contaminated with residues of the granules
The risk to mammals was assessed and discussed for these scenarios according to the EFSA guidance
document on risk assessment for birds and mammals (EFSA, 2009) as specified above. In case of
UKS150C the possible uptake of granules when eating food contaminated with soil Tier 1
toxicity/exposure ratios (TER) for acute and long-term exposure of birds to UKS150C for this scenario
resulted in TER values above the trigger.
Furthermore an acceptable risk for mammals for exposure through contaminated drinking water was
concluded.
For details see core assessment, Part B, section 6.

Results of aquatic risk assessment for the intended for uses of UKS150C on lawn based on FOCUS
Surface Water PEC values is presented in the core assessment, Part B, Section 6, chapter 6.4.
Predicted environmental concentrations in surface water were only calculated for the possible
bioavailable compounds Fe2+ and SO42- in the annex 1 assessment of Iron sulfate which covers the
intended uses of UKS150C on lawn. The expected levels of iron and sulfate in surface water due to the
intended use of the formulation UKS150C on lawn will not significantly influence the natural background
concentration of iron and sulfate found in the aqueous environment.
However, the application of PPP in the immediate vicinity of surface or coastal waters is not permitted in
Germany, minimum buffer zones stipulated by state law must be observed and no additional entries as
those according to the evaluated use pattern and good agricultural practice are acceptable. The conditions
of use NW468 and NW642-1 are assigned.
For details see Part B, National Addendum-Germany, Section 6, chapters 6.4.4.
3.1.6.3 Effects on Bees and Other Arthropod Species (Part B, Section 6, Points 10.4 and
10.5)
Bees
No endpoints are available for the active substance iron sulfate as the exposure of bees is unlikely for a
granular application. The DAR concludes that the risk for bees is acceptable and low.
Due to the manner in which authorisation governs application of the product, bees are not endangered.
Other non-target arthropods
The applicant has submitted data on the effect of UKS150C on non-target arthropods (namely Aleochara
bilineata and Poecilius cupreus; ER50 and LR50 > 665 kg/ha, respectively). Due to the lack of effects in
the ecotoxicological studies and with respect to the natural background levels of ferric and sulphate (see
Part B, National Addendum section 5, chapter 5.5), a quantitative risk assessment for non-target
arthropods is for that reason not conducted in this national addendum.
For details please refer to the core assessment Part B, section 6, chapter 6.6.
3.1.6.4 Effects on Earthworms and Other Soil Macro-organisms (Part B, Section 6, Point
10.6)
Compared to the natural content of iron and sulfate the additions are very small and consequently, no
unreasonable effects are expected from the use of FeSO4, even if repeated applications over multiple
years were to be assumed.
For details please refer to the core assessment Part B, section 6, chapter 6.7.
3.1.6.5 Effects on organic matter breakdown (Part B, Section 6, Point 10.6)
Since no risk was identified for soil fauna, soil micro-organisms and non-target arthropods from the use
of UKS150C on lawn, data on the effects on organic matter breakdown (litterbag) is not required.
For details please refer to the core assessment Part B, section 6, chapter 6.7.
3.1.6.6 Effects on Soil Non-target Micro-organisms (Part B, Section 6, Point 10.7)
Compared to the natural content of iron and sulfate the additions are very small and consequently, no
unreasonable effects are expected from the use of FeSO4, even if repeated applications over multiple
years were to be assumed.

3.1.6.7 Assessment of Potential for Effects on Other Non-target Organisms (Flora and
Fauna) (Part B, Section 6, Point 10.8)
Non-Target Plants
Exposure of non-target terrestrial plants in non-target off-field areas to UKS150C due to spray from field
application is not considered because UKS150C as a granule formulation is applied by spreading. The
exposure of dust drift is not considered in that case because of the simple application equipment (hand
spreading or rotary/wheeled spreader) of the granule formulation for non professional use.
For details please refer to the core assessment Part B, section 6, chapter 6.9.
Implications for labelling resulting from ecotoxicological assessment:
NW467 The product and its remains, empty containers and packaging and rinsing fluids must not
be dumped in water. This also applies to indirect entry via the urban or agrarian drainage
system and to rain-water and sewage canals.
NW642-1 The product may not be applied in or in the immediate vicinity of surface or coastal
waters. Irrespective of this, the minimum buffer zone from surface waters stipulated by
state law must be observed. Violations may be punished by fines of up to 50 000 EUR.

3.1.7 Efficacy (Part B, Section 7, Point 8)
The use of UKS150C is intended for the control of mosses (MMMMM). For some mosses only a few or
no efficacy results have been submitted, so certain moss species may show different sensitivity. This
should be addressed by a label warning. The instructions for use must include a summary of weeds which
can be controlled well, less well and insufficiently by the product, as well as a list of species and/or
varieties showing which crops are tolerant of the intended application rate and which are not. This also
addresses DE’s concerns that safe species of turf are not named in the RR.
Because assessments in the following year are missing, although perennial crops and pest are concerned,
it must be addressed by a label warning that the product has no sustainable effect in perennial weeds.
No adverse effects on beneficial organisms were noted when visual observations were made within the
efficacy and selectivity field trial sites.
On the basis of the results of laboratory studies, UKS150C can be classified as not harmful for the soil-
dwelling insects Poecilus cupreus and Aleochara bilineata.
3.2 Conclusions
With respect to physical, chemical and technical properties of the formulation an authorisation can be
granted.
Concerning analytical methods (formulation) an authorisation can be granted.
Regarding analytical methods for residues an authorisation can be granted.
With respect to efficacy/IPM and sustainable use incl. safety for honey bees an authorisation can be
granted.

Sec 5 FATE AND BEHAVIOUR IN THE ENVIRONMENT
(KIIIA 9)
The exposure assessment of the plant protection product UKS150C in its intended uses on lawn is
documented in detail in the core assessment of the plant protection product UKS150C dated from May
2013 performed by UK.
This document comprises the risk assessment for groundwater and the exposure assessment of surface
water and soil for authorization of the plant protection product UKS150C in Germany according to uses
listed in Appendix 3.
Regarding PECgw relevant risk mitigation measures, if necessary, are documented in this document.
PECsoil, PECsw are used for risk assessment to derive specific risk mitigation measures if necessary
(see National addendum Germany, part B, section 6 and part A).

* For administrative purposes, each intended use of a plant protection product in Germany is assigned with an individual use
number from the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL). A complete list of the
individual GAPs in Germany together with their assigned use numbers is given in Appendix 3 of this Addendum.
** The notifier suggest a crop interception of 76.2 % based on the study by Staffa, C. (2012, study code: 783-001, AS232,
BVL code 2704826). Whereas the zRMS stated that according to the higher single use rate featured in the annex 1
assessment member states should further assess the impact of the proposed product uses if they consider a crop
interception of less than 25 % for granular applications to established grasses (please refer to the reviewer’s comments
in the core assessment, section 5, chapter IIIA1 9.4.1). However, the approach of the study by Staffa is reasonable
unfortunately the amendements of the report regerading the prelimary study on the fixing of the granules and some raw
data are not available. The lawn tested in the study was well established. Considering the use of the formulation as non
professional it is questionable whether this is always the situation for the intended use of the formulation. Therefore the
evaluation in the national addendum is based on a crop interception of 50 %.
5.3 Information on the active substances
5.3.1 Iron sulfate
Iron sulfate is an inorganic salt that dissociates in the soil solution to iron- and sulfate-ions. Both iron
and sulfate-ions are naturally occurring components of terrestrial ecosystems. Please refer to EFSA
Journal 2012;10(1):2521.
5.4 Summary on input parameters for environmental exposure assessment
5.4.1 Rate of degradation in soil
Not applicable. Please refer to EFSA Journal 2012;10(1):2521.
5.4.2 Adsorption/desorption
Iron sulfate is an inorganic salt that dissociates in the soil solution to iron- and sulfate-ions. Both iron
and sulfate-ions are naturally occurring components of terrestrial ecosystems.. Sulfate is mobile in soils
and readily leached (Kf 2.6 – 21.1). Sorption increases with decreasing pH. Above pH 6 all sulfate is
found in solution. Under typical aerobic environmental conditions (pH 5 – pH 9), the highly soluble Fe
(II) salts will be rapidly oxidised to less soluble Fe (III) oxides and hydroxides. Due to the low solubility
of the oxide/hydroxide forms, the concentration of dissolved Fe in the soil solution is rather low (< 0.01
- 0.5 mg/L). Please refer to EFSA Journal 2012;10(1):2521.

5.4.3 Rate of degradation in water/sediment
Not applicable. Iron sulfate is an inorganic salt with high solubility in water. When dissolved in water,
it readily dissociates to iron- and sulfate ions. Please refer to EFSA Journal 2012;10(1):2521.
5.5 Estimation of concentrations in soil (KIIIA1 9.4)
Results of PECsoil calculation for UKS150C according to EU assessment considering 5 cm soil depth
and an interception value of 75 % are given in the core assessment (May 2013), part B, section 5, Table
9.4.1-1. However, zRMS didn’t accept the proposed interception value of 75 % but considers the annex
1 assessment to be protective of the proposed uses (please refer to EFSA Journal 2012;10(1):2521).
For German exposure assessment the applied soil depth is based on experimental data (Fent, Löffler,
Kubiak: Ermittlung der Eindringtiefe und Konzentrationsverteilung gesprühter Pflanzenschutzmittel-
wirkstoffe in den Boden zur Berechnung des PEC-Boden. Abschlussbericht zum Forschungsvorhaben
FKZ 360 03 018, UBA, Berlin 1999). Generally for active substances with a KFoc < 500 a soil depth of
2.5 cm is applied whereas for active substances with a KFoc > 500 a soil depth of 1 cm is applied. As soil
bulk density 1.5 g cm-3 is assumed. The standard soil depth of 2.5 cm was considered for Iron sulfate.
Additional PECsoil,act was calculated for the formulation UKS150C for a soil depth of 2.5 cm. The short-
term and long-term actual concentrations (PECsoil,actual) and the time weighted average concentrations
(PECsoil,twa) for the active substance Iron sulfate were not calculated because no degradation is assumed
for the active substance Iron sulfate.
PEC soil calculation is based on two applications of 350 kg UKS 150C/ha corresponding to 57.05 kg/ha
Iron sulfate (equals 21 kg/ha iron and 36.05 kg/ha sulfate) with a minimum interval of 90 days are
proposed. As a worst-case scenario it is assumed that UKS150C is applied in one cumulative application
of 114.1 kg Iron sulfate/ha (equals 42 kg/ha iron and 72.1 kg/ha sulfate). However, it can be realistically
concluded that this cumulative application does not reflect the conditions of use since e.g. decay of the
granular and dissolution in water takes place between applications.
The calculated PECsoil used for German risk assessment for Iron sulfate as well as for the formulation
UKS150C are summarized in Table 5.5-1 and Table 5.5-2.

Sulfate 96.1 (=32.0 as sulphur) 0.0096 (= 0.0032 as sulphur) Sulphur: 0.02 to 2
The natural environmental concentrations of iron and sulfate in soil range from 2,000 to 50,000 mg/kg
(= 0.2 to 5 % iron) and from 600 to 60,000 mg/kg (= 0.02 – 2 % sulphur), respectively. Following two
applications of 57.05 kg FeSO4/ha (≡ 2 x 21.0 kg Fe2+ and 2 x 36.05 kg SO42-), the increase in the levels
of iron and sulfate in soil will be 56.0 and 96.1 mg/kg, respectively. The maximum levels applied
correspond to a soil iron concentration of ca. 0.0056 % compared to a natural iron content in soil of ca.
0.2 to 5% (by mass). A part of the added iron will be absorbed by plant tissue as nutrient and be removed
from the area by regular mowing. Compared to the natural content of iron and sulfate the additions are
very small and consequently, no unreasonable effects are expected from the use of FeSO4, even if
repeated applications over multiple years were to be assumed.
5.6 Estimation of concentrations in surface water and sediment (KIIIA1 9.7)
In (soil) solution, iron (II) is rapidly oxidised into iron (III) forming insoluble oxide/hydroxide species.
The identical reaction occurs in aerated, natural surface waters leads to the rapid formation of the
insoluble ferric form of iron. Thus, iron in surface water exists primarily in the insoluble ferric form,
either as settled or suspended sediment, and will be unavailable to aquatic organisms. Therefore, the
predicted environmental concentrations in surface water were only calculated for the possible
bioavailable compounds Fe2+ and SO42-.
5.6.1 PECSW after exposure by spraydrift and volatilization with subsequent
deposition
The formulation UKS150C is intended to be used against moss on lawn in home garden (non
professional use). The formulation is applied by spreading hence no direct exposure of aquatic organism
by the formulation UKS150C due to spray drift occurs.
The exposure of dust drift is not considered in that case because of the simple application equipment
(hand spreading or rotary/wheeled spreader) of the granule formulation for non-professional use.
5.6.2 PECSW after exposure by surface run-off and drainage
The annex 1 representative use of Iron sulfate features two applications of 71.4 k/ha Iron sulfate with
an application interval of 40 days and 40 % crop interception. The resulting cumulative amount of
85.68 kg/ha Iron sulfate reaching the soil covers the intended uses of UKS150C on lawn (57.05 kg/ha
Iron sulfate).
The annex I PECsw calculations of Fe2+ and SO42- using FOCUS Surface Water and considering runoff
and drainage only are resulting in initial predicted environmental concentrations of iron and sulfate in
Part B – Section 5

UKS150C Registration Report

Date: August 2016
surface water at Step 2 to be 0.164 mg/L and 8.88 mg/L, respectively, (refer to EFSA Journal
2012;10(1):2521).
The expected levels of iron and sulfate in surface water following application of ferrous sulfate are
below the EU regulatory thresholds for iron and sulfate in drinking water of 0.2 and 250 mg/L,
respectively (Council Directive 998/83/EC). Furthermore, according to the Water Framework Directive
(Directive 2000/60/EC) average annual concentrations in surface water up to 75 mg/L and 0,7 mg/L for
sulfate and iron, repectively, are not opposed to the good ecological status of water bodies. While natural
background concentrations of sulfate in surface water are up to 25 mg/L but not specified for iron
(LAWA, 2015).
However, it can be realistically concluded that the assumption of cumulative applications do not reflect
the conditions of use. Taking into account that the instability of ferrous ions under aerobic conditions,
leads to the formation of the insoluble ferric form of iron in aerated, natural surface waters most of the
iron in surface water will be unavailable to aquatic organisms.
Overall, for the active substance iron sulphate the exposure of surface water due to the intended use of
the formul1ation UKS150C on lawn will not significantly influence the natural background
concentration of iron and sulfate found in the aqueous environment.
5.7 Risk assessment for groundwater (KIIIA1 9.6)
Results of the PECgw calculation of Iron sulfate for the intended uses of UKS150C on lawn according
to EU assessment using FOCUS PELMO/PEARL are given in the core assessment by zRMS UK (May
2013), part B, section 5, chapter IIIA 9.6.
For authorization in Germany, risk assessment for groundwater considers two pathways, (i) direct
leaching of the active substance into the groundwater after soil passage and (ii) surface run-off and
drainage of the active substance into an adjacent ditch with subsequent bank filtration into the
groundwater.
For the active substance iron sulfate the exposure of groundwater due to the use of the formulation
UKS150C can be neglected considering the natural background concentration of iron (refer to chapter
5.5).
Consequences for authorization:
The authorization of the plant protection product UKS150C is linked with following labeling:

6.1 Proposed use pattern and considered metabolites
6.1.1 Grouping of intended uses for risk assessment
Full details of the proposed use pattern of the formulation UKS150C that will be assessed are presented in
Appendix 1 and summarized in the table below. The intended use (use no. 00-001) in Germany are covered
by the core assessment performed by zRMS UK.

* For administrative purposes, each intended use of a plant protection product in Germany is assigned with an individual use
number from the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL). A complete list of the individual
GAPs in Germany together with their assigned use numbers is given in Appendix 3 of this Addendum.
** The notifier suggest a crop interception of 76.2 % based on the study by Staffa, C. (2012, study code: 783-001, AS232, BVL
code 2704826). Whereas the zRMS stated that according to the higher single use rate featured in the annex 1 assessment
member states should further assess the impact of the proposed product uses if they consider a crop interception of less than
25 % for granular applications to established grasses (please refer to the reviewer’s comments in the core assessment,
section 5, chapter IIIA1 9.4.1). However, the approach of the study by Staffa is reasonable unfortunately the amendements
of the report regerading the prelimary study on the fixing of the granules and some raw data are not available. The lawn
tested in the study was well established. Considering the use of the formulation as non professional it is questionable
whether this is always the situation for the intended use of the formulation. Therefore the evaluation in the national
addendum is based on a crop interception of 50 %.

6.5.1 Overview
Results of aquatic risk assessment for the intended for uses of UKS150C in lawn based on FOCUS Surface
Water PEC values is presented in the Core assessment, Part B, Section 6.
For authorization in Germany, exposure assessment of surface water considers the two routes of entry (i)
spraydrift and volatilisation with subsequent deposition and (ii) run-off, drainage separately in order to
allow risk mitigation measures separately for each entry route. Hence, aquatic risk assessment differs from
those in the core assessment.
The risk assessment for aquatic organism for authorization of UKS150C is outlined in the following chap-
ters.

Please refer to the core assessment.
6.5.4 Toxicity to exposure ratios for aquatic species (MIIIA 10.2.1)
The evaluation of the risk for aquatic and sediment-dwelling organisms was performed in accordance with
the recommendations of the “Guidance on tiered risk assessment for plant protection products for aquatic
organisms in edge-of-field surface waters” (EFSA Journal 2013;11(7):3290).
6.5.4.1 TER values for the entry into surface water via spraydrift and deposition
following volatilization
Not relevant (for further details, see Part B section 5, chapter 5.6.1.)
6.5.4.2 TER values for the entry into surface water via run-off and drainage
It was not deemed necessary to calculate TER values for the entry into surface water via run-off and drain-
age for the following reasons:
In could be shown that the intended use of the formulation UKS150C on lawn will not significantly influ-
ence the natural background concentration of iron and sulfate found in the aqueous environment. For further
details, please refer to Part B, National Addendum section 5, chapter 5.6.2.
6.5.4.3 Consideration of Metabolites
Please refer to the core assessment.
6.5.5 Overall conclusions
The results of the assessment indicate an acceptable risk for aquatic organisms due to the intended use of
UKS150C in lawn according to the label.
Consequences for authorization:
For the authorization of the plant protection product UKS150C following labeling and conditions of use
are mandatory:

none
6.6 Effects on bees (MIIIA 10.4, KPC 10.3.1)
No endpoints are available for the active substance iron sulfate as the exposure of bees is unlikely for a
granular application. The DAR concludes that the risk for bees is acceptable and low.
Due to the manner in which authorisation governs application of the product, bees are not endangered.

6.7 Effects on arthropods other than bees (MIIIA 10.5, KPC 10.3.2)
The applicant has submitted data on the effect of UKS150C on non-target arthropods (namely Aleochara
bilineata and Poecilius cupreus; ER50 and LR50 > 665 kg/ha, respectively). Due to the lack of effects in
the ecotoxicological studies and with respect to the natural background levels of ferric and sulphate (see
Part B, National Addendum section 5, chapter 5.5), a quantitative risk assessment for non-target arthropods
is for that reason not conducted in this national addendum.
Please refer to the core assessment.

6.8.1 Justification for new endpoints
Please refer to the core assessment.
6.8.2 Toxicity exposure ratios for earthworms and other soil macro- and mesofauna,
TERA and TERLT (MIIIA 10.6.1)
The evaluation of the risk for earthworms and other soil macro-organisms was performed in accordance
with the recommendations of the “Guidance Document on Terrestrial Ecotoxicology”, as provided by the
Commission Services (SANCO/10329/2002 rev 2 (final), October 17, 2002).
For the calculations of predicted environmental concentrations in soils (PEC soil), reference is made to the
environmental fate section (Part B, Section 5) of this submission. The resulting maximum PECsoil values
for the active substances iron sulfate and the major soil degradation products are presented in the table
below.
For German exposure assessment the applied soil depth is based on experimental data (Fent, Löffler, Ku-
biak: Ermittlung der Eindringtiefe und Konzentrationsverteilung gesprühter Pflanzenschutzmittelwirk-
stoffe in den Boden zur Berechnung des PEC-Boden. Abschlussbericht zum Forschungsvorhaben FKZ
360 03 018, UBA, Berlin 1999). Generally for active substances with a Kf,oc < 500 a soil depth of 2.5 cm is
applied whereas for active substances with a Kf,oc > 500 a soil depth of 1 cm is applied. As soil bulk density
1.5 g cm-3is assumed.

The acute risk for earthworms and other non-target soil macro- and mesofauna resulting from an exposure
to UKS150C/iron sulfate as well as the major soil degradation products of iron sulfate was assessed by
comparing the maximum PECSOIL with the 14-day LC50 value to generate acute TER values. The TERA was
calculated as follows:
The chronic risk for earthworms, other non-target soil macro- and mesofauna and organic matter breack-
down resulting from an exposure to UKS150C/iron sulfate as well as the major soil degradation products
of iron sulfate was assessed by comparing the maximum PECSOIL with the NOEC value to generate chronic
TER values. The TERLT was calculated as follows:
The results of the risk assessment are summarized in the following table.

use in lawns

152.1 2.36
The chronic TER value shown above fall below the relevant trigger of 5. However, the PEC value was
based on one cumulative application (no degradation is assumed) which is highly unlikely, since e.g. decay
of the granular and dissolution takes place between applications at an interval of 90 days.
Furthermore, as explained in Table 6.8-2 in chapter 5.5 (Part B, National Addendum section 5), the natural
environmental concentrations of iron and sulfate in soil range from 2,000 to 50,000 mg/kg (= 0.2 to 5 %
iron) and from 600 to 60,000 mg/kg (= 0.02 – 2 % sulphur), respectively. Following two applications of
57.05 kg FeSO4/ha (≡ 2 x 21.0 kg Fe2+ and 2 x 36.05 kg SO42-), the increase in the levels of iron and
sulfate in soil will be 56.0 and 96.1 mg/kg, respectively. The maximum levels applied correspond to a soil
iron concentration of ca. 0.0056 % compared to a natural iron content in soil of ca. 0.2 to 5% (by mass). A
part of the added iron will be absorbed by plant tissue as nutrient and be removed from the area by regular
mowing. Compared to the natural content of iron and sulfate the additions are very small and consequently,

The use of UKS150C is intended for the control of mosses (MMMMM). For some mosses only a few or no efficacy results have been submitted, which entails that a reliable evaluation on these moss species is not possible. Therefore, a label warning should be addressed on the label. The instructions for use must include a summary of weeds which can be controlled well, less well and insufficiently by the product, as well as a list of species and/or varieties showing which crops are tolerant of the intended application rate and which are not.

Mosses are perennial plants, which grow in perennial lawns. For proving long term control, as-sessments in the following year are required. Due to the missing assessments in the following year, an adequate label warning (e.g.: The product has no sustainable effect in perennial weeds.) should be addressed on the label. The zRMS UK did not observe DE`s remarks related to Annex point IIIA1 6.1 (see reporting table). DE’s view is that all used EPPO standards should be specified. Refer to Registration Report and reporting table for further information.
IIIA1 6.1.1 Preliminary range-finding tests
Refer to Registration Report for further information.
IIIA1 6.1.2 Minimum effective dose tests
The zRMS UK did not observe DE`s remarks related to Annex point IIIA1 6.1.2 (see reporting table). DE’s view is that the evaluation should be based on single moss species instead of groups of mosses (MMMMM). Certain moss species could respond different to the application of UKS150 C and maybe show different sensitivity. Refer to Registration Report and reporting table for further information.
IIIA1 6.1.3 Efficacy tests
The zRMS UK did not observe DE`s remarks related to Annex point IIIA1 6.1.3 (see reporting table). DE’s view is that the evaluation should be based on single moss species instead of groups of moss (MMMMM). Certain moss species could respond different to the application of UKS150C and maybe show different sensitivity. The results of the formulation UKS151A cannot be used for the evaluation of UKS150C. The additional content of MCPA/MCPP could falsify the results in comparison to a sole Fe-product because of missing competition of weeds. Refer to Registration Report and reporting table for further information.

IIIA1 6.2.4 Adverse effects on beneficial organisms (other than bees)
The herbicide UKS150C (182 g/kg iron-II-sulfate or 163 g/kg as monohydrate, GR) has been proposed for two treatments per crop and season in lawn with a field rate of 35 g/m² (350 kg/ha). Due to a 90-day gap between the two applications and a half-life for iron sulfate of 1 day, a multiple application factor of 1.0 can be used. No adverse effects on beneficial organisms were noted when visual observations were made within the efficacy and selectivity field trial sites. Appropriate studies on the potential adverse effects on beneficial arthropods were available from Registration Report Part B, Section 6, Annex Point IIIA 10.5 (Effects on Arthropods Other Than Bees), Core Assessment. As tests with the indicator species Typhlodromus pyri and Aphidius rhopalosiphi are not de-manded for granular formulations, the toxicity of the test product has been investigated by carry-ing out laboratory tests with two soil dwelling organisms, the ground beetle Poecilus cupreus and the rove beetle Aleochara bilineata, only. Instead of the test product, the formulation UKS 151A (14-1-5), which contains the same concentration of iron-II-sulfate as UKS150C, but addi-tionally mecoprop-P + MCPA, was applied (Table 6.2.4-1). Only marginal lethal or sublethal effects < 30% occurred in both tests at 1.9fold the single field rate of UKS 151A. UKS150C is not suspected to be more toxic than the tested product containing additional active ingredients. Table 6.2.4-1: Effects of UKS 151A (14-1-5) (182 g/kg iron-II-sulfate + 3 g/kg mecoprop-P + 5 g/kg MCPA) on beneficial organisms in laboratory test on an artificial substrate

Conclusion
On the basis of the results of laboratory studies, UKS150C can be classified as not harmful for
Poecilus cupreus and Aleochara bilineata. Classification of the effects: Laboratory tests on inert substrates
< 30% = not harmful 30 – 80% = slightly harmful > 80% = harmful
