5 Application Equipment
Nearly all commercially available agronomic or horticultural
ground equipment, like pressurized tank sprayers, mist blowers,
electrostatic sprayers, and drip irrigation system or aerial spray can
be used to apply EPNs.
6 Care While Handling the Application
The main care in handling is the minimum loss of IJs from the
application equipment to the target insect. Importance is also given
to the volume, nozzle type, agitation, pressure, recycling time,
system environmental conditions, and spray distribution pattern.
