There are several ways to apply a pesticide. A band application is the application of the pesticide to a strip over or along each crop row.
Broadcast is a uniform application to an entire, specific area.
Dip application is either complete or partial immersion of a plant, animal or object in a pesticide. Directed application is aiming the pesticide at a portion of a plant, animal or structure. A drench application means to saturate the soil with a pesticide. Spot treatment is the application of a pesticide to a small, specific area. Various formulations of pesticides are available and you should be familiar with them before you use them.
