Crop protection agents
and liquid fertiliser
Improper handling of crop protection agents and
liquid fertiliser may cause poisoning and death.
¾
Follow the specifications and instructions in
the safety data sheet of the crop protection
agent manufacturer. If necessary, ask the
dealer for the safety data sheet or safety
notes.
¾
Determine and provide the personal protective
outfit as specified by the manufacturer of the
crop protection agent.
¾
At the time the crop protection sprayer is
manufactured the manufacturer is aware of
only a few approved crop protection agents,
which could have a damaging effect on the
materials used in the crop protection sprayer.
¾
Store all relevant information about the crop
protection agents used (safety data sheets,
instructions for use, etc.) in the document roll.
¾
The water quality (the water hardness and
mineral content in particular) influences the
property of some fertilisers and crop protec-
tion agents. Precipitation and deflocculation
can cause deposits in filters and nozzles.
Example: Extremely hard water reacts with
sulphate-bearing fertiliser to form calcium
sulphate (gypsum) and causes white deposits
in the filters.
Pay attention to the conditions of use and
the combination possibilities given by the
corresponding manufacturers to avoid such
problems!
¾
Observe the data on compatibility of crop
protection agents with materials of the crop
protection sprayer!
¾
Do not spray any crop protection agents that
have a tendency to agglutination or solidifica -
tion!
¾
Wear suitable protective clothing when han-
dling crop protection agents.
¾
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling crop
protection agents!
¾
Keep crop protection equipment and crop
protection agents out of the reach of children!

Always ensure a sufficient water supply in the
machine to be able to wash off crop protection
agent in events of emergency.
¾
In case of physical contact with crop protection
agents you may need to consult a physician.
¾
Thoroughly clean hands and face after the
end of work.
¾
Extended exposure time of crop protec-
tion agents may cause damages to plastic
components of the crop protection sprayer.
Follow the notes of the crop protection agent
manufacturers.

The application notes of the crop protection
