Guidelines on Minimum Requirements for Agricultural Pesticide Application Equipment
Author: T. L. Wiles
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251052457
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
The FAO minimum requirements in this publication are based on existing international, European and national standards and other published references. The guidelines provide a practical aid to assist purchasing and other agencies to avoid buying or approving sprayers with quality and design limitations, which could compromise operator and environmental safety. Member countries should adopt them immediately, to begin to eliminate substandard and unsafe sprayers from national markets and ultimately from the international scene.

Application Of Pesticides To Crops
Author: Graham A Matthews
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 1911298127
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Pesticides continue to provide an important tool in integrated pest management (IPM) programmes. Hitherto IPM programmes have had a strong bias towards insect control, but farmers need to control weeds, plant pathogens and other pest problems.This book follows the author's successful “pesticide application methods” by relating the equipment needs to the overall pest control requirement of major crops. It outlines the pest problems against which farmers are using pesticides and focusses on the details of the application techniques they need to optimise pesticide use.Much attention is now being given to genetically modified crops, but these do not necessarily avoid the use of pesticides. Some are engineered to be resistant to certain herbicides, so the use of these herbicides will still require careful application in order to minimise environmental side effects. Similarly, crops engineered for resistance to certain insect pest species may remain susceptible to other pests, thus emphasising the need for crop monitoring and careful use of any chemicals to avoid disrupting biological control.

Guidelines on Organization of Schemes for Testing and Certification of Agricultural Pesticide Sprayers in Use
Author:
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251047217
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The guidelines in this document are addressing government officials in plant protection, environmental and other concerned authorities. They cover the testing and certification of the sprayers currently applying pesticides on commercial farms. The series addresses an urgent need in many countries to ensure that where pesticides are used in crop production, they are applied through equipment, which is safe and fully functional. The issue applies to aircraft, large, field crop and orchard sprayers as well as to operator-carried equipment.

Guidelines on Procedures for the Registration, Certification and Testing of New Pesticide Application Equipment
Author:
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251047200
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
The guidelines in this document outline how governments can influence pesticide safety by controlling the quality of new pesticide application equipment manufactured in or imported into a country. They address government officials in plant protection, environmental and other concerned authorities. By incorporating into national legislation, a requirement for manufacturers and importers to declare that application equipment meets acceptable, international standards of safety and durability, or to set up national or regional testing and certification procedures, it should be possible to gradually reduce and ultimately to eliminate sub-standard application equipment from farms.

Book Description
The guidelines in this document are addressing government officials in plant protection, environmental and other concerned authorities. They consider the training, testing and certification of those who actually operate pesticide application equipment. Even the most well-designed and maintained applicators can do immeasurable damage in the hands of an unskilled operator and the importance of this guideline should not be under-estimated.
