Abstract
Successful application of pesticides enables effective plant protection, but also prevents contamination of the environment and operators with plant protection products. Prerequisites for successful pesticide application are trained operators and correct devices for pesticide application (sprayers, mist blowers, etc.). Correct devices for pesticide application meet the conditions prescribed by the ISO 16122 standard. The use of technically correct devices for pesticide application is also a legal obligation. Sprayers (without knapsack sprayers) are subject to a technical inspection every three years. For new devices, the first inspection is valid for five years. Inspection of sprayers consists of: preparatory actions, visual inspection of the correctness of individual components and measurement of parameters necessary for the successful operation of the sprayer.
