Hose end sprayers are a type of pesticide application equipment that can be attached to the end of a garden hose. They are often used to apply herbicides, insecticides and fungicides to lawns, gardens and other areas.
There are several different types of hose end sprayers on the market, but they all work in essentially the same way. The user fills the container with the desired amount of pesticide and then attaches it to the hose. As water flows through the hose, it also flows through the container and mixes with the pesticide. The mixture is then sprayed out through the nozzle at the end of the hose.
Hose end sprayers can be an easy and convenient way to apply pesticides, but they are not always accurate. Because they rely on water pressure to mix and deliver the pesticide, there can be inconsistencies in how much pesticide is actually applied. This can lead to over- or under-application of pesticides, which can be harmful to people, animals and plants alike.
To help ensure more accurate application of pesticides using a hose end sprayer:
-Read and follow all label directions carefully before using any product
-Calibrate your equipment regularly according to manufacturer's instructions
