They provide a simple and efficient means of delivering the appropriate amount of material to the appropriate location and typically come in three main types, Tank, Backpack and Hose Ended.
You must first determine the problem or task before selecting a garden sprayer. Some areas can be sprayed spot-on with modest doses of pesticide, while others (lawns or vast gardens) require a larger-capacity sprayer.
Sprayers range in sizes greatly, so finding the right size to meet your specific gardening needs will be simple.
Gardeners should ideally keep at least two sprayers on hand, one for herbicide and one for insecticide. Many herbicide residues are difficult to entirely remove from inside a sprayer tank, and this remaining residue may harm your plants.
Furthermore, combining pesticides is not a good idea, so make sure each sprayer is properly labelled.
Garden sprayers can be used to apply both synthetic (man-made) chemicals and organic compounds (such as dormant oils).
Make sure the product you’re applying is compatible with the sprayer type you choose.
