Consequences of using certain crop protection agents
We would like to draw attention to the fact that extended exposure (20
hours) to crop protection agents with which we are familiar, e.g. Las-
so, Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan and Ter-
idox, can cause damage to the pump diaphragms, hoses, spray lines
and tanks. The examples given are in no way intended to represent a
comprehensive list.
In particular, we warn against unauthorised mixtures of two or more
different crop protection agents.
Substances which have a tendency to stick together or set must not
be applied.
When using such aggressive crop protection agents, it is recom-
mended that the spray liquid be applied immediately after preparation
and then that the sprayer be thoroughly cleaned with water.
Viton membranes are available as replacements for pumps. These
are resistant to solvent-containing crop protection agents. However
their service life is reduced by use at low temperatures (e.g. AUS in
frosty conditions).
The materials and components used for AMAZONE field sprayers are
safe for liquid fertiliser.
