TOPIC: Proper Use of Manual Sprayer

Task: Apply pesticide/herbicide using a Manual sprayer,

General Objective: Demonstrate the proper use of manual

sprayers for safe and effective pesticide/herbicide application.

Specific Objectives:

1. Calibrate the manual sprayer accurately for the desired application rate.
2. Display appropriate spraying methods, such as distributing the pressure and speed
evenly and getting even coverage.
3. Throughout the task, follow to safety procedures, such as wearing the proper protective
gear and using safe handling techniques.
4. Reduce the impact on the environment by avoiding drift and overspray and by adhering
to the instructions for properly disposing of any leftover solution.
5. After use, make sure the manual sprayer is cleaned and stored properly so it is ready for
use in the future.
