Boom sprayer calibration is a necessary activity that maximizes the effectiveness and
efficiency of pest and pathogen control programs while ensuring the well-being of farm workers, the general public, and surrounding environment.
As part of our best management practice recommendations, the commission provides bilingual tools and on-farm training to support growers in maintaining properly
calibrated spray equipment.
Our resources focus on the main steps of boom sprayer calibration including: checking for system uniformity, optimizing boom design and nozzle selection, replacing worn or malfunctioning components, documenting adjustments, and continued system maintenance.
