FUNDAMENTALS OF ENSURING THE SAFE APPLICATION OF PESTICIDES

The article describes the basics of implementing measures for the safe handling of pesticides. It is emphasized that the most important of them are further improvement of legislation in this area, technologies for the production and use of pesticides, including the development and introduction of modern equipment, machines and mechanisms for the use of chemicals. It is necessary to strive for the use of pesticides with low consumption rates and unstable in the environment, new weighing pesticides with a wide range of action and high selectivity. It is necessary to establish the production of pesticides in small-volume packaging, eliminating the need for hanging them and re-packaging before use. The effectiveness of state supervision and industrial control over the handling of pesticides, including improving laboratory control, should be improved. Greater attention should be paid to public awareness of basic safety measures when using pesticides in private farms where up to 60-70% of vegetables are produced.
