Excerpt from Concentrated Spray Mixtures and Their Application by Ground and Aerial Equipment as Compared With Standard Spraying and Dusting Methods Although a new kind of equipment is needed for applying concentrated Sprays, certain types of ready - made devices, such as hand atomizers, paint Spray outfits, and conventional sprayers equipped with Special nozzles, can be used at present or modified and assembled for use. Experiments which suggest the kind of apparatus and degree of atomization desired have been conducted. Tests of equipment indicate that, as compared with the standard spray method, the concentrated Spray method covers areas more quickly and requires less equipment, labor, insecticide, and expense.

PESTICIDE APPLICATION METHODS Pesticide Application Methods is the standard work for all those involved in crop protection. This fully revised and expanded edition provides up-to-date information on the different types of application techniques and how they should be used to ensure efficient and effective pest control. The third edition of this excellent book was published more than 10 years ago, since when a number of important developments have taken place. Examples include changes to legislation both in the EU and USA concerning water quality. This has an impact on how spray is applied and, more particularly, how the sprayer is designed to minimise quantities that remain in the equipment when spraying is completed, and in addition inform how and when the sprayer is cleaned. Concern about spray drift has also continued and has led to more research on how to reduce the amount of spray that moves downwind from a treated area. Important new information on this topic is included within the new edition. Professor Graham Matthews has been joined by two new co-authors to increase the breadth and depth of coverage in this updated edition of Pesticide Application Methods. This important new edition is a commercially significant reference tool and will be of great use and interest to all those working in crop protection, including agricultural entomologists and plant pathologists, pesticide scientists, advisors and consultants, large-scale growers, agricultural and horticultural scientists, agrochemical industry personnel including those involved in equipment supply and product formulation. Libraries in government and commercial research establishments, universities and agricultural colleges where agricultural and biological sciences are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this definitive book on their shelves.
