Pesticide application methods....

Hello friends hope you are doing good.
I'm an agriculture student... on the based of my knowledge I'm delivering short and sweet article on the topic of "PESTICIDE APPLICATION METHODS"

Method of pesticide application:
Pesticide can be applied through different method they are:-

Seed treatments:
Disease may be seed borne, soil borne or air borne. In case of seed borne diseases, the pathogen are carried either on surface of the seeds or inside the seed. Different group of insect, pest or their inactive stages may remain attached with the seed which may harm seed in lateral stage. To control, prevent or minimize disease and insect, pest chemical treatment is essential. Seeds are treated before packaging or they may be treated at the time of sowing in order to reduce or remove the existing pest and
diseases. Seeds may be grain, tubers, bulbs etc so their treatment is different according to their types. Inorganic copper fungicide, organic compounds, malathion dust, agrimycin etc are used for seed treatment. They can be treated by following ways.

a. Seed dressing:
This is the most common method of
seed treatment.The seed is dressed wet either or dry formulation or treated with a slurry or liquid formulation.Earthen pots, rotator duster, see treatment drum are used to dressed the seeds.

b. Seed coating:
A special binder is used with a formulation to enhance adherence to the seed.Coating needs advance treatment technology by the industry.

Fumigation:
Fumigation is such kinds of pest control method in which a pesticide gas or vapor is released into the air or injected into the soil to kill or eliminate pests. In this method the area is completely fills with toxic gaseous pesticide or fumigants to suffocate the pest and the pest are
killed or eliminated. Soil fumigation is a commonly used agricultural practice to treat fields to reduce weeds, nematodes and other soil insects and small rodents such as moles. Fumigant pesticides are also used on grains and crops post-harvest to reduce insects, ticks and mites, nematodes, slugs and snails and fungal diseases. Ethyldibromide or methylbromide is the example of fumigant pesticide.

Soil application:
Soil is treated with chemical or other materials to control insect pest and pathogen so that it facilitated the enhancement of growth and development of plant. Soil is treated with
various chemical pesticides,fungicides and weedicides to control the pest, pathogen and weeds. It can be done
by soil injection, broadcasting, basal application, cracks application mechanical or
tillage application etc.

Foliar application:
Foliar application of
pesticide is used to control
insect, pest and disease
present in the leaves or any
part of the plant above the
soil surface. Foliar
application is effective for
controlling sucking, biting
and chewing pest as well as
pathogen. Foliar application
is done by different sprayers such as atomizer, hand sprayer, hand compression
sprayer, duster etc.

  CONCLUSION 

There are huge disadvantages of using pesticides for longer term but we need to apply it for commercial production.... For own home purpose gives higher priority to biological control, traps for the destruction of pest in your agricultural goods.
