SPRAYING
Start spraying at the downwind edge of the field and try to avoid walking in the area
that you have just sprayed.
When spraying make sure that
you always wear the best
protective equipment available
to you. Consult the label to find
out what is advised for the
product you are using. In
general it is advised that long
trousers, a long sleeved shirt,
boots, gloves and eye protection
are worn.
The best time to spray is
early in the morning or late
in
the
afternoon.
The
temperature and humidity
are lower at these times of
the day. Avoid spraying at
mid-day as the weather is
usually hot and dry at this
time. Do not spray if rain is
expected soon.
Ensure that there are no
people or animals present
when you are spraying. Warn
people not to enter the field
during spraying or after you
have sprayed.
Do
not
use
leaking
equipment
–
fix
if
necessary before using.
