All liquid applications are usually made with ____.
Sprayers
For liquid application in a small area, what is the best way to apply?
A small compressed air sprayer with a hand operated pump or a sprinkler
For liquid application in a very large area, what is the best way to apply?
Boat mounted pump and tank, airplane with spray boom, or ground rig with boom
What is usually used for insecticide applications?
Foggers and ultra low volume (ULV) equipment
Applications of granules typically used what type of equipment?
Cyclone spreaders or by hand
What is one of the most common sprayers for treating small areas?
Compressed air sprayer in a 1-3 gallon size.
How does a compressed air sprayer work?
The air at the upper portion of the tank is put under pressure by a hand pump. The pressure forces liquid through the nozzle.
How does a hydraulic sprayer work?
The spray mixture is taken into a pump, put under pressure, and forced through the nozzle
In some ____ sprayers, a PSI of up to 600 can be reached
Hydraulic
How does a mist blower work?
The mixture is introduced into a stream of high speed air that carries the droplets to target
What type of mist blower is the most common?
Backpack model
