Description
Sprayer Cleaning Workshop at the Haus der Familie, Oberbozen, Italy on 2-3 October 2019
Sprayer cleaning (internal and external) is considered one of the most important elements of the potential pesticide point source water contamination, and it is really necessary to find and disseminate ways to avoid or mitigate this risk. There are several different ways to address the present mitigation solutions proposed by researchers, regulatory bodies, sprayers manufacturers and private companies. This workshop aimed to exchange experiences from different stakeholders in order to provide improvements on this topic, through the demonstration and dissemination of solutions to avoid or mitigate the water contamination risk.
