| Abstract | This material provides a comprehensive guide on how to properly use a knapsack sprayer for pesticide application, a common and essential tool in agriculture, particularly in Africa. The document is structured into three key phases: preparation, application, and aftercare. The preparation phase emphasizes reading labels, inspecting equipment, checking weather conditions, and ensuring protective gear is in good condition. The application phase covers techniques for even pesticide distribution, including walking at a steady pace, maintaining consistent pressure, and monitoring the sprayer’s functionality. The aftercare section outlines the proper cleaning and maintenance of the sprayer and protective gear. By following these steps, farmers can avoid accidents, ensure effective pesticide application, and protect both the environment and their health. | |
