To get a good crop of vegetables, it is not enough just to plant seeds in the ground. It is also necessary to take care of their successful germination, to create the necessary conditions for the development of plants and their vegetation. In addition to traditional loosening, hilling and weeding, a very important point is the destruction of pests, different for each crop.
Automate this process will help you a special device - sprayer. This device for uniform spraying of insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, etc. The use of this technique is much more effective than spraying plants manually, in the old manner, with the help of a broom. In addition, modern chemical means, if carefully processed by them plants and soil around them, make it possible to successfully fight not only with insects, but also with weeds.
Sprayers are capacitive and non-resilient, and, depending on the source of energy, they are divided into gasoline and electric. Let's discuss motor-sprayers that work on gasoline.
Features of gasoline sprayers
Gasoline sprayer for garden and garden is equipped with a two-stroke engine, working on the appropriate form of fuel. With the help of such a device, a pressure is created in the flask, necessary for spraying the liquid chemical.
When buying, pay attention to the following characteristics of the purchased product:
- volume of the tank (from 2 to 25 liters);
- method of fastening (knapsack or on wheels);
- the possibility of using not only liquid chemicals, but also powdery ones;
- function of pressure adjustment due to the presence of a spray nozzle. If this option is provided, you can choose the optimal spray pattern for each case (dense jet, fine mist or choose something in between);
- length of spray hose (models with tube
shorter than 50 cm are not very comfortable for processing hard-to-reach areas).
Caring for plants with a garden sprayer is a very easy process. For the owner of a small area of up to 15 acres, a knapsack sprayer will be an excellent option, and it would be more expedient for the owner of a large plantation to buy a gasoline sprayer on wheels or a model with a battery.
In the rating of manufacturers of knapsack gasoline sprayers and models on wheels, today such firms as Sadko, Stihl ("Shtil") are leading. Also popular are Forte, Efco, Solo, Maruyama and others.
