[transcript] When calibrating a boom sprayer one of the the important measurements is to make sure that the boom nozzle is the proper distance from the target. You need to check the owner's manual to find out what that distance is. So make sure you check each nozzle to make sure it's the proper distance from the target to the nozzle to ensure that you're prying the proper amount of pesticides.
UNH Extension specialist George Hamilton hosts a seven-part series sharing best practices for safely and efficiently operating pesticide sprayers. Agricultural producers, landscaping professionals and pest control technicians will find these videos informative and easy to follow. This series was made possible with a grant from the New England Vegetable and Berry Growers Association (EPA Region #1), and technical support from the University of Deleware Cooperative Extension and the National Pesticide Safety Education Center.
