HDC has published its latest factsheet which covers the efficacy of spraying ornamental plants using hand held sprayers and includes best practice derived from a recent HDC funded project (PO 008).
HDC says that improving spray application efficacy will lead to improvements in crop uniformity, quality and growth, especially in the case of chemical growth regulator applications. This new factsheet, Improving the efficacy of plant protection applications to ornamental crops via hand-held sprayers, aims to help growers of ornamental crops improve the efficacy of plant protection applications via handheld sprayers by providing a range of practical and best practice suggestions, some of which are based on the outcome of a recent project, while building on the content of the previous HDC Factsheet 14/06.
Copies are available for levy payers and associates from the HDC website.
