4.7 Consequences of using certain crop protection agents
We would like to draw attention to the fact that extended exposure (20
hours) to crop protection agents with which we are familiar, e.g.
Lasso, Betanal and Tramat, Stomp, Iloxan, Mudecan, Elancolan and
Teridox, can cause damage to the pump diaphragms, hoses, spray
lines and tanks. The examples given are in no way intended to repre-
sent a comprehensive list.
In particular, we warn against unauthorised mixtures of two or more
different crop protection agents.
Substances which have a tendency to stick together or set must not
be applied.
When using such aggressive crop protection agents, it is recom-
mended that the spray liquid be applied immediately after preparation
and then that the sprayer be thoroughly cleaned with water.
Desmopan diaphragms may be supplied as a replacement for the
pump diaphragms. These are resistant to solvent-containing crop pro-
tection agents. However their service life is reduced by use at low
temperatures (e.g. AUS in frosty conditions).
The materials and components used in the construction of AMAZONE
field sprayers are safe for liquid fertiliser.
