SPRAYER SETUP FOR TOBACCO FUMIGATION

SPRAYER SETUP FOR SPECIALISED APPLICATIONS IN TOBACCO



Here's an example of a complete layout for tobacco land fumigation prior to planting. The fumigants such as EDB - 1,2 dibromoethane or Telone® - 1,3 dichloropropene are used with this system.   These products are particularly aggressive so the materials in contact with these spray accessories have to be carefully selected. Telone is applied as the concentrate and cannot be diluted with water. If using an old fumigant product like metham sodium, the brass regulator cannot be used.



The fumigant is fed into the pipes behind the tines on the implement and incorporated into the soil. It is not sprayed into the soil under pressure. An orifice plate is placed into each line to accurately meter the amount needed.

Take note of all the adaptors and hose-shanks required. We provide the entire system ready to use including the tubing.



The real world. A bit different to the promo pamphlets!

We are way beyond the accessories supply business - we're in the information business.


Telone is a registered tradename of the Dow AgroSciences organisation.
