FSOOTY Competition Questions - Should you have Entered?

[Chris F]

As part of the FSOOTY Competition the entrants answered questions about spraying as set by James Thomas from Syngenta. So we thought we would add some of the 14 questions here and see how you do with them.

Have a go at answering them, in about a week James from Syngenta will announce the correct answer and why.

So here we go:

Well done to the 25 of you who correctly answered the question above.

The reason this is correct:
As stated in the Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products, section 4.5.2. What precautions should I take when filling equipment? When mixing and loading a pesticide into any equipment you must always check the manufacturer's instructions on the product label.


An example of this, which differs from the second most popular answer C., is the Reglone product label which states:

"Fill the spray tank nine tenths full of clean water, then start agitation. Add the recommended quantity of REGLONE to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction hopper), or by direct addition to the spray tank."

My answer to the thread question? No, I shouldn't have entered FSOOTY. My practice is nowhere as good as the winners of the competition. I've had the privelige of meeting a former winner and I was in awe of his attention to detail.
