Don't Neglect Spiay Rigs
Fall chores for botli backyard
gardeners in the cities and farm
ers on the c t nmereial agrieul- ;
tural scene should include clean
up of pesticide spray equipment.!
Specialists at N. C. State Uni
versity recommend high stand
ards of safeguard to insure that
this valuable equipment will be
ready to do the job come next
spring.
Professor J. C. Wells, exten
sion plaht pathologist and mem
ber of the Pesticide Education
Committee, points out that in
vestments in spray equipment
can run into many hundreds of
dollars on farms. It can be very
costly for a farmer to overlook
the necessary care involved in
maintenance of his spray rig.
“Not only can the costs of poor
maintenance result in double
cash out of the pocket when the
neglected equipment is needed—
and often fast—-but such prob
lems of worn nozzles, leaking
tubes, etc., can cause actual harm
to both animals and plants. For
instance, in disease control, worn
pumps delivering too little pres
sure can create a situation Where
effectiveness of these valuable
chemicals qan be wasted.”
Dr. A. D. Worsham, crop scien
tist serving in weed control on
the committee, says similar prob
lems in application of herbicides
can cause damage including crop
kill, next year, when control of
weeds is carried out.
“Overdosage per acre with faul
ty equipment can result in un
productive areas, or affect the
entire field.
“The same amount of care
should be given to equipment as
is to selection of mixing of any
pesticide,” the crop scientist says.
“Equipment not in proper shape
and applying insecticides in in
correct quantities can have the
effects of a two-edged sword,”
says Dr. H. E. Scott, entomology
extension professor and chair
man of the committee.
“Equipment that does not func
tion properly and applies uneven,
or incori'ect quantities on the
low side can not control the in
sects, and at the same time may
help build up resistance of that
particular insect to that pesti
cide. On the other hand, the far
mer can feel the sharp cut in
profit when he has made over
application in some instances re
sulting in illegal residues, and
he will not be able to sell his
products.
The following recommendations
will help provide guidelines to
ward keeping equipment in good
shape for next spring, these spe
cialists say.
X. Drain all spray material
from tank, pump, boom and
hose* in safe place.
2. Remove end plugs from
boom (if present), so any accu
mulation can be flushed out.
3. Fill spray tank with clear
water, run pump, and flush wa
ter through the boom in safe
area.
4. Again fill with “flush” mix
ture recommended by your coun
ty agent, depending on the last
used pesticide material.
5. Disassemble nozzles, clean
screens, and store screens and
nozzle parts dry or immersed in
■a jar of fuel oil.
G. Drain pump thoroughly and
then coat the inside with a rust
proofing material such as soluble
oil or regular auto radiator rust
inhibitor. This will prevent a
stuck pump. Be sure pump is dry
so it will not be damaged by
freezing.
7. If tank is susceptible to rust,
also rinse or spray the interior
with soluble oil in water or other
rust inhibitor. Do this whenever
sprayer will be idle for a few
days.
