Concerned with the use of pesticides in agriculture, this text focuses on the methods of their application. It considers the advances in application technology that have taken place since the publication of the last edition, including a new chapter on the electrostatic charging of sprays.
Increasing consumer pressure for high quality goods, lowest possible prices, with the reduced use of pesticides, means application methods have to be even more precise. Environment protection regulations imposed by the FAO also require the precise application of toxic pesticide chemicals. This second edition of "Pesticide Application Methods" has been fully revised to provide up-to-date information on the different types of application techniques. It provides detailed information on the role of chemical control in crop protection and covers safety precautions and maintenance issues. It should be a reference for everybody working in the agrochemical and equipment manufacturing industry and workers involved in crop protection. Postgraduate courses in crop protection, such as the courses at Reading, Bristol, Wye College, and country agricultural colleges; will also provide background reading for courses in agriculture, ecology (especially with reference to pollution) and agricultural engineering.
