Application Tips and Training

When preparing for a herbicide application, it’s important to take the proper steps to make sure herbicides are handled carefully and used correctly. By focusing on factors like spray rates, calibration, site conditions, adjacent areas, desirable vegetation, weather and the product labels/MSDS, you can minimize exposure to herbicides, and incorporate safe practices and procedures on the job.

Safety is in the hands of each individual applicator when it comes to herbicides, and it starts with education. You can help protect yourself, co-workers and the environment by adhering to proper preventive measures and herbicide handling tips.
