In the hot summer season, crops grow rapidly, but so do pests and diseases. This period also sees an increased risk of pesticide poisoning. To ensure safety and effectiveness, the following precautions should be strictly followed when applying pesticides:
1. **Enhance Personal Protection**
Applicators must wear long-sleeved clothing, long pants, gloves, and a mask to reduce skin exposure. After application, it is essential to wash thoroughly and change clothes immediately. Minors, individuals with skin conditions or mental health issues, those with open wounds, people who have not fully recovered from pesticide poisoning, those who have consumed alcohol recently, and women during menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding should not handle pesticides.
2. **Choose Appropriate Application Time**
During the hot season, it's best to apply pesticides early in the morning before 10 a.m. or late in the afternoon after 4 p.m., avoiding the intense midday heat. When spraying, personnel should stand upwind and spray forward, never against the wind to prevent exposure.
3. **Control Pesticide Dosage**
In high temperatures, it’s advisable to reduce the concentration slightly and increase the volume of the solution. Using lower concentrations helps prevent both human and crop poisoning while maintaining effectiveness.
4. **Post Warning Signs**
After pesticide application, clearly mark the area to warn others not to cut grass, graze animals, or consume fruits and vegetables. This prevents accidental poisoning of humans and animals.
5. **Proper Storage and Disposal**
Pesticides and their equipment should be stored in designated, secure locations. Never clean pesticide containers near fish ponds or reuse them for food storage. Always dispose of unused chemicals safely and according to local regulations.
By following these guidelines, pesticide use can be safer and more effective, protecting both people and the environment. Always prioritize safety and responsibility when handling agricultural chemicals.
