| dc.description | The ultra-low volume vehicle mounted sprayer (passive drift - ULVAMAST V4M ) is a piece of equipment adopted by locust ground teams to perform ground control operations. The vehicle-mounted sprayer adopts the ULV technology, allowing lower concentrations of insecticide to be required during control operations, minimising the risk of environmental and human health. The sprayer was selected based on technical reports and related references that indicate the importance, effectiveness and efficiency of this sprayer against desert locusts. The SOP is an essential guideline on the sprayer's setup, calibration, use, maintenance and storage. Locust field officers must be proficient will all the steps required to perform successful control operations. | |
