Pesticides play a crucial role in controlling pests and diseases, protecting crop yield and quality. However, to achieve optimal effectiveness and ensure safety for users and the environment, farmers need to strictly follow technical guidelines.

1. Read the product label carefully before use

Before mixing and spraying pesticides, carefully read the information on the label, such as:

  • Target pests.

  • Dosage.

  • Withdrawal period.

  • Storage conditions.

  • Safety precautions.

2. Mix pesticides at the correct dosage

Overdosing does not increase effectiveness and can cause leaf burn, chemical residue, and increased production costs. Conversely, underdosing can lead to pest resistance.

3. Spray at the right time

Spray when pests and diseases first appear or at the easiest stage to control. The appropriate time to spray is early morning or late afternoon, avoiding rain or strong winds.

4. Personal Protective Equipment

Users must wear masks, gloves, safety glasses, and long-sleeved clothing to minimize direct contact with pesticides.

5. Adhere to the Four Correct Principles:

  • Correct pesticide.

  • Correct dosage.

  • Correct timing.

  • Correct method.

Adhering to these principles improves pest control effectiveness, reduces costs, and protects the agricultural environment.

6. Dispose of packaging after use

Pesticide packaging should be collected in designated areas and not discarded into ponds, lakes, canals, or fields.

Proper use of pesticides not only promotes healthy plant growth but also contributes to building a safe and sustainable agricultural system.
