Ten questions that must be clarified when purchasing plant protection machinery!

① It is necessary to understand the characteristics of diseases, pests, and weeds in the control objects, as well as the application methods and requirements. For example, the location where diseases and pests occur or harm plants, the dosage form, physical properties and dosage of the agent, the spraying operation mode (powder spraying, fog, smoke, etc.), and the spray is constant, low or ultra-low, so as to select the type of plant protection machinery.

② Understand the natural conditions in the field of the controlled object and the adaptability of the selected plant protection machinery to it. For example, the leveling and planning of the field, whether it is plain or hilly, dry farming or paddy fields, the size of fruit trees, spacing between trees, and gaps between trees, considering the adaptability of the selected equipment for field operation and operation, as well as the passing performance between fruit trees.

③ Understand the cultivation and growth of crops. For example, the height and density of crops, whether spraying is during the seedling stage, middle and late stages, the required areas and density of pesticide coverage, the height and size of fruit tree crowns, and whether the performance of the spraying (spraying) components of the selected plant protection machinery can meet the prevention and control requirements.

④ If the purchased spray machinery is to be used for spraying herbicides, it is necessary to purchase relevant accessories suitable for spraying herbicides, such as slit nozzles, anti drip valves, fog hoods, etc.

⑤ Understand the safety of the selected plant protection machinery during operation. For example, whether there is water leakage, drug leakage, pollution to operators, and whether there will be pesticide damage to crops.

⑥ Based on the business model and scale, as well as economic conditions such as household contracting or collective operation, the size of the prevention and control area, the required productivity, the purchasing capacity, and the ability to bear the operating costs of the equipment (such as medicine, water supply, fuel or electricity, labor costs, etc.), the production capacity, manpower machinery, power machinery, and the size of the medical equipment to be purchased are determined.

⑦ Quality inspection status. Has the product been tested and qualified by the product quality inspection department. Has the product obtained a promotion license or production license, and is aware of its validity period.

⑧ Brand awareness. Is the reputation of the product and the manufacturer good, is the product quality stable, is the after-sales service good, has the product ever received an award that truly reflects quality, and has it ever received a quality award.

⑨ Investigation and research. Go to work units with the same production conditions to learn about the usage of the drugs and equipment you plan to purchase, for reference.

⑩ After selecting the model, the packaging should be checked for completeness according to the packing list when purchasing, and the accompanying technical documents and accessories should be checked for completeness.
