Every farmer knows how important it is to measure and weigh crop protection and nutrition products accurately for optimal crop protection and yield.
AECI Plant Health is a company that always goes the extra mile to understand what farmers need for successful farming. They provide the solution for correct measuring and weighing of chemicals and related products to promote healthy crop growth.
Measure Smart by AECI Plant Health is a complete ready-to-use measuring kit that makes it easy for farmers to weigh and measure accurately. Accuracy matters, but it is equally important for a farmer to create a safe environment when when working with various crop protection products and product combinations.
According to Act 36 of 1947, provision must be made for the registration of fertilisers, animal feeds, sterilising plants, and certain substances to regulate the import, manufacture, and use of chemicals for the sustainability of the agricultural industry. All the equipment in the kit meets the standards for accurately and safely handling spray mixtures.
The implications of incorrect dosing or application can significantly impact a farmer’s yield. Underdosing can reduce the efficacy of crop protection products while overdosing can harm crops and increase chemical residues.
Therefore, it is crucial to measure the right quantities and ensure plant health and nutrition.
