PEI-AGRI

Regional concepts (firm and interfirm perspective) for the reduction of point source pollution of water by new methods of filling and cleaning of sprayers.

Obiettivi
Objectives

• Identification of requirements for single-farm or communal concepts for a more sustainable handling of phytosanitary products during filling and cleaning of the sprayer
• Elaboration of solutions (at single-farm or communal level) for orchards and vineyards in order to reduce point source pollution of water
• Development of guidelines for the implementation and application of sprayer-filling and cleaning solutions for orchards and vineyards, in order to show sustainable methods to handle pesticides to protect soil and water 

Activities

Preparation of practical guidelines for the filling and cleaning of phytosanitary equipment. The systems that will be evaluated in the project work will be both, single-farm installations and centralised installations that can be used by multiple farms. 

Context

The aim is to reduce the losses of pesticides into surface water and groundwater bodies. Currently, no systems of cleaning and disposal are in place.

Pratice abstract
Description

Testing and analysing of existing systems and analysis of residual water quality
 

Description

Raising awarness of the need to implement and use such systems to reduce water contamination from PPP inputs
 

Description

Development of inter-company solutions with the integration of at least seven influencing factors. These factors are analysed individually and tested for their interactions in order to create practical methods for the farmer.
