Imazamox non-target species includes which of the following true statements?

• A. Non-toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates
• B. Toxic to fish
• C. Toxic to birds at label rates
• D. Safe for honeybees

Answer: (A)

When evaluating non-target effects, look at what the label and safety data say about exposure to wildlife. Imazamox has been shown to have low acute toxicity to fish and aquatic invertebrates at the labeled use rates, so it’s considered non-toxic to these aquatic non-target organisms when used as directed. The other statements imply toxicity to fish or birds at label rates or assert safety for honeybees in a broad sense, which isn’t supported by the label’s precautionary guidelines and known exposure pathways (for example, bees can be exposed through nectar or pollen). So the best-supported conclusion about non-target species is that imazamox is non-toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates at label rates.
