ABSTRACT

Application equipment is needed to get the fungicide to the target crop. If proper application equipment is not used, even the most efficient fungicide will not be able to control the disease. Fungicides are available as dustable powder, wettable powder, liquids, emulsifiable concentrate, oil formulations, ultralow-volume formulations, and gases. Fungicides need to be applied in dwarf crops such as peanut as well as in large-sized tall trees such as apples. Hence, different types of application equipment are needed to apply different formulations of fungicides to different types of crops. This chapter describes all available application equipment.
