This fully updated Fourth Edition takes account of the considerable changes in legislation, especially within the European Union, affecting some pesticides and how they can be applied. With greater emphasis now on protecting the environment, an additional chapter in this edition describes the importance of managing treatments to minimise spray drift, and the chapter on applying biopesticides has been updated, with the assistance of Paul Miller and Roy Bateman respectively.</pPesticidesApplicationSpraying and dusting in agricultureSpraying equipmentPesticidesApplication.Spraying and dusting in agriculture.Spraying equipment.628.1/6842Matthews G.
