Book (stand-alone)Guidelines on MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR AGRICULTURAL PESTICIDE APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Ground-based locust and grasshopper sprayers
2004Also available in:
The FAO minimum requirements in this publication are based on existing international, European, and national standards and other published references. They also draw on the in-depth knowledge and experience of international sprayer standards of the experts assigned to the project and on the authors’ experience of pesticide application in the developing world. They take into account sprayers that are already on the market, many of which already meet the requirements. The guidelines on minimum requirements provide practical aid to assist purchasing and other agencies to avoid buying or approving sprayers with quality and design limitations that could compromise operator and environmental safety. It is recommended that member countries adopt them immediately to begin the elimination of substandard and unsafe sprayers from national markets and ultimately from the international scene. -
Book (stand-alone)Guidelines on standards for agricultural pesticide application equipment and related test preocedures
Vehicle-mounted and trailed sprayers. Vol. 2
2001The FAO guidelines on standards are based on existing international, European and national standards and other published references. They also draw on the in-depth knowledge and experience of international sprayer standards of the experts assigned to the project and on the authors’ experience of pesticide application in the developing world. The guidelines on standards consist of detailed specifications and requirements, supported by test procedures to measure compliance with the FAO standard, for the major types of agricultural pesticide sprayers manufactured or used in FAO member countries. These standards reflect current manufacturing practice, other national and international standards and the practical reality in the field in member states. The aim of the standards guidelines is to provide manufacturers and governments with a practical and consistent quality assurance system. Each member country can then decide on the form and speed of introduction of the respective guidelines into national practice and into legislation where appropriate. -
