Safety in applying chemicals
1
• KEEP children away from the sprayed ar-
eas. Remove children, domestic animals
and unprotected people from the treat-
ed areas. Do not allow children or other
persons not necessary for the services to
remain in the chemical handling and ap-
plication areas.
• APPLY the recommended dosages: The
dosages recommended by the manufac-
turers shall be followed. Any change to
the dosage or calculation error may bring
about serious consequences to the cul-
tivation or the environment. Do not use
chemicals in cultivations which the same
have not been recommended for.
• DO NOT spray with strong winds blow-
ing over the area: Excess wind can cause
many problems. It will prevent the chemi-
cal from reaching its target, causing a poor
distribution of chemical over the cultiva-
tion; it can also carry the sprayed mixture
to water springs, wild animals and the
entire environment. Do not spray if the
wind velocity is higher than 6 mph. Do
not spray in the absence of winds. Such
a situation can cause a thermal reversal.
A good application can be obtained with
winds blowing at 2 to 4 mph velocity, tem-
perature from between 44 and 86°F and
relative air humidity over 55%. Do not
spray against the direction of the wind or
during the day warmest hours.
• WASH the packaging before disposing the
same. When preparing the mixture, wash
the used packaging for about 30 seconds.
• TO NOT reuse empty packaging; Even af-
ter several washing operations, chemical
packaging still retain residue. Do not burn
empty packaging material. After wash-
ing, render the same unusable (pierce
the packaging bottom) and store it at a
safe place until the same are picked up
ad recycled.
