Pesticide Application Equipment for Use in Agriculture (Vol. 1) by G.A. Matthews,E.W. Thornhill Pdf

This book describes the main types of manually-operated or manually-carried pesticide application equipment. Most of the small-scale farmers in the developing countries, who have used pesticides, rely on a lever operated knapsack sprayer. These sprayers are now manufactured in many of the developing countries, who are introducing modern designs. The details of the design and the types of nozzle needed to treat crops and improve safety to the user are described. Changes in manufacturing techniques are resulting in certain plastics being used instead of brass. The less expensive compression sprayers are also described as these may become more important on the smallest farms. Details of the range of nozzles that can be used with hydraulic sprayers are given so the user can make a better selection of nozzle to apply pesticides more efficiently. Equipment used to apply reduced volumnes such as the spinning disc applicators is important, especially in areas where water supplies are difficult to obtain. Fog, granule, dust and other special applicators are also described. Specifications for the main types of applicator are given to assist those who have to purchase the equipment. The remaining sections provide guidance on safe application of pesticides and maintenance of the equipment. A glossary of terms is included.

Application Of Pesticides To Crops by Graham A Matthews Pdf

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.

Pesticide Application Methods by Graham Matthews Pdf

Pesticide Application Methods is the standard work for all those involved in crop protection. This fully revised 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. Detailed information is provided on the role of chemical control in crop protection: targets, formulations and droplets, spray quality and the choice of nozzles are discussed, as are improvements in the design of new equipment, safety precautions and maintenance issues. Two new chapters highlight the application of biological pesticides and equipment used in the evaluation of pesticides. This important new edition is a commercially important 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 and anywhere the subject is taught or studied should have multiple copies of this definitive book on their shelves.

Soil Fumigation, Second Edition by Shannah M. Whithaus Pdf

A fumigant is a type of pesticide that volatilizes after being applied as a solid, liquid, or liquefied gas. Soil fumigants applied into fallow ground before planting are an important part of integrated pest management programs in row crops and orchards, nursery operations, and turfgrass maintenance programs throughout California. Fumigants may be odorless and usually cannot be seen. It is important to remember that fumigants are among the most hazardous chemicals you will handle or encounter at your workplace. This book is for people who will study for an examination and apply for a Soil Fumigation Qualified Applicator License or Certificate (QAL or QAC) in California. To obtain a QAL or QAC in this category, you must pass examinations in the following areas:

• basic principles of effective pesticide use
• soil fumigation pest control
• laws and regulations

In this book, most of the laws and regulations covered are specific to soil fumigations performed in California. California’s pesticide laws provide general guidelines, and its regulations provide the specifics for how to comply.

In addition to demonstrating knowledge of the laws and regulations related to fumigant use, applicators are expected to prove that they understand:

• the proper handling and application of soil fumigants
• the human health and environmental risks of soil fumigants
• the methods used to avoid or mitigate the risks associated with soil fumigants

Knowledge expectations listed at the beginning of each chapter define which concepts applicators will be tested on in the examination. Use the review questions at the end of each chapter to help you master the material before you take the examination. Check your answers with the correct answers in the “Answers to Review Questions” at the end of the book.
