4. FAQ
Q1: Can pest control agents and disinfectants be mixed?
It is not recommended to mix them randomly. Pesticides and disinfectants have different chemical components. Mixing them may cause reactions, reduce efficacy, produce phytotoxicity or toxic substances, and pose safety risks. It is recommended to operate in different time periods, thoroughly clean the equipment before replacing the agent, and strictly follow the product manual.
Q2: Is the higher the spraying pressure, the better?
No. Excessively high pressure will lead to too fine droplets, easy drift and loss, wasting agents and possibly damaging seedlings and young fruits; too low pressure will result in uneven coverage and insufficient penetration, affecting control effect. It should be adjusted according to the scenario: medium to high pressure can be used in farmland and orchards; low-pressure fine mist is suitable for greenhouses and seedling stages. The safety valve can stabilize the pressure, making it safer.
Q3: How to maintain equipment to extend its service life?
1. After each operation, fully rinse the medicine box, pipeline, spray rod and spray nozzle with clean water to prevent agent residue from corroding the components and extending service life.
2. Regularly check the safety valve, seals and pipeline interfaces, and replace aging and damaged components in time.
3. Store in a well-ventilated, dry and dark place; drain the accumulated water when not in use for a long time to avoid freezing or rusting.
