Pesticide Application Equipment
General Information
Many types of equipment are available for applying pesticides. Good results occur only when you select equipment suitable for your application, set it up and use it correctly, and maintain it so it operates properly.
When selecting application equipment consider: the size and type of area to be treated, the type of pest, the pesticide formulation, the required application accuracy, timeliness of application, and cost of the equipment.
The application equipment section reviews the principal types of application equipment, describes basic sprayer parts, and describes calibration and maintenance. Several worksheets and checklists are included.
