Pesticides are an important tool for protecting crops, but misuse can harm your health, the crop and the environment. Here are the key tips before, during and after spraying:
- Read the label carefully before use and follow the dose and crops listed.
- Wear protective gear: gloves, mask, goggles and long-sleeved clothes.
- Do not increase the dose; more is not better and can damage plants.
- Spray at the right time: early morning or before sunset, and avoid spraying in wind or extreme heat.
- Respect the pre-harvest interval stated on the package.
- Store pesticides in their original containers away from children, food and feed.
- Dispose of empty containers safely and never reuse them for anything else.
