Abstract

Although the conventional Knapsack sprayer continues to be the main equipment for weed control in plantation crops there had been more extensive use of alternative techniques such as controlled droplet application mistblower ULV spraying and semi-mechanised hydraulic spraying (SHS) systems during the last decade. The comparative merits of these techniques in relation to worker productivity cost of weed control and occupational safety of workers are discussed in this paper.
