PREPERATION OF THE PESTICIDE FOR APPLICATION
Calibration of spraying device: Make sure that the disinfestations device is calibrated properly. In order to determine the amount of pesticide-water to be used per decare or per tree, a certain area and certain number of trees can be wetted only with water. Measuring the amount of water used, amount of pesticide-water mix per decare and per tree is calculated.
Preparation of the pesticide for application: Make sure that nipples of the device are checked and cleaned and that all of them work properly before spraying. The device’s tank is filled with water in half first. Required amount of the pesticide is mixed into slurry with a small amount of water in a separate container and added to the tank. Then the amount of pesticide that is calculated according to the dose suggested and it is mixed with water in a separate container as pre-mixture. During spraying, the mixer should be active.
