Spray Poles


How do you know that your spray equipment is correctly setup to ensure spray is deposited throughout the canopy correctly?  Stop guessing with these cost-effective fixed-target spray poles designed to give you the information you need easily and cheaply.   Follow the step-by-step guide below to see how easy it is to install and interpret fixed-target spray poles to assess your sprayer's setup.

  #1 Slide pole sections into centre of canopy, then attach the five clips at the desired heights. Cut the 2.5m pole to length as required for your canopy.

Next step

 

#2 Take 10 water sensitive papers, place another face down on the top and fold in half.

 

Next step

#3 NO GLOVES REQUIRED! - Handle papers by their edges and slide papers out one at a time from the centre of the stack.

 

Next step

 

#4 Spring clips open and insert folded papers.

 

Next step

#5 Folded papers sit vertically and horizontally in the clips exposing four surfaces to spray deposits.

 

Next step

#6 Deposits on the ground can be assessed using clips cut in half.

 

Next step

#7 After spraying handle papers by their edges and staple onto a template which records their position on the pole. Papers on template sheets can be stored without any special treatment in plastic clear files and provide a useful reference on sprayer performance under different conditions.
