Determination of Pesticide Exposures of Some Nozzle Types in Almond Trees Sprayed with Knapsack Sprayer

Abstract

In this study, field trials were conducted using a knapsack sprayer to determine the pesticide exposure of the pesticide application agricultural workers (The operators) in almond tree spraying, and pesticide exposure was determined by the whole-body approach technique. An electric knapsack sprayer with a 20-liter tank capacity was used in the study. The nozzles attached to the spray boom of the knapsack sprayer can be changed in practice. Three spray nozzles were used to measure the operator pesticide exposure. These nozzles are (M1) Air induction nozzle (11002), (M2) Extended range flat fan nozzle (XR 11002), and (M3) Hollow cone nozzle (TXA8002). Each method was applied at two different spray distances (50 and 100 cm), and water-sensitive papers (WSP) were used as a sample surface in all methods. When protective clothing was analyzed, it was found that the whole body could be exposed to pesticides. According to the results, the highest coverage was obtained from standard extended range flat fan nozzle (M2) method with a 23.6 (% coverage) coverage rate and deposition of 3,956 (µL.cm-²).

Sırt Pülverizatörü ile İlaçlanan Badem Ağaçlarında Bazı Meme Tiplerinin Pestisit Maruziyetlerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, badem ağacı ilaçlamasında pestisit uygulaması yapan tarım işçilerinin (operatör) pestisit maruziyetini belirlemek amacıyla bir sırt pülverizatörü kullanılarak saha denemeleri yapılmış ve pestisit maruziyeti tüm vücut yaklaşım tekniği ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada 20 litrelik tank kapasitesine sahip elektrikli sırt pülverizatörü kullanılmıştır. Sırt pülverizatörünün püskürtme çubuğuna takılan memeler pratik olarak değiştirilebilmektedir. Tarım işçilerinin pestisit maruziyetini ölçmek için üç püskürtme memesi kullanılmıştır. Bu memeler; (M1) Hava emişli meme (11002) (M2) Yelpaze hüzmeli meme (XR 11002) (M3) Konik hüzmeli meme (TXA8002). Her yöntem iki farklı püskürtme mesafesinde (50 ve 100 cm) uygulanmış ve tüm yöntemlerde örnek yüzey olarak suya duyarlı kartlar (WSP) kullanılmıştır. Koruyucu giysiler incelendiğinde, tüm vücudun pestisitlere maruz kalabileceğini anlaşılmıştır. Sonuçlara göre, en yüksek kaplama 23,6 (% kaplama) ve 3.956 (µL.cm-²) birikim ile standart yelpaze huzmeli meme (M2) yönteminden elde edilmiştir.
