COLUMBUS, Ohio It may be fall, but it is still time to spring-clean farm sprayers. Now is a good time to make sure sprayers and other equipment used to apply pesticides are cleaned and ready for another season. “Clean sprayers are key to proper pesticide management,” said Joanne Kick-Raack, coor dinator of the Pesticide Educa Pennfield Transfers Commodity Trading Division To Perdue Farms LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.) Pennfield Corporation and Perdue Farms, Inc. of Salis bury, Md. have reached an agreement to transfer the busi ness of Pennfield’s Ag Ingred ients Group to Perdue Commodities. According to Robert J. Buehler, senior vice president of Pennfield’s Ag Products Divi sion, Perdue assumed all com modity trading activities and obligations of Pennfield’s Ag Ingredients Group Oct. 2. “Perdue is a world leader in commodities trading and mar kets grains and feed ingredients You're Invited To Be Part Of Mid Atlantic Area's Thfe wdusto publication Will tarve M th* ultimate lewuroe guide for county agents mi date apfcuHunl and alio terve at a -|«r all acro» tbauMnk - will be . indu<Mln UmMbtr farming's total Clean Farm Sprayers For Better Performance tion Program, part of Ohio State University Extension. Clean sprayers reduce poten tial crop injury from residual pesticides left in the sprayer, she said. Keeping sprayers clean also keeps them in top condition as pesticide residues can corrode equipment and clog nozzles, said Kick-Raack. She recommends throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico,” Buehler said. “Although Pennfield’s Ag Ingredients Group has been a successful part of our company for the past three years, we rec ognize the benefits of it becom ing part of a such a larger and established operation for our customers. “This was a great opportunity for both Perdue and Pennfield,” said Buehler. “Perdue can expand its commodities trading with our former customer base while Pennfield can concentrate on continuing to increase market share in all segments of 2001 AGI ■RECTORY cleaning sprayers immediately after each use and at the end of the spraying season. Sprayers should first be flushed and rinsed, inside and out, with water to prevent the accumula tion of pesticides. In addition to the first rinse with water, the sprayer may need to be flushed with a clean ing agent because some herbi cide residues can cling to plastic the feed and livestock nutrition business.” Buehler also noted that Mark Jakiel, former manager of Penn field’s Ag Ingredients Group, has joined Perdue and will be headquartered in a new Lancas ter based office. All existing trading contracts with Pennfield’s Ag Ingredients Group will be assumed by Perdue Commodities.

Kick-Raack recommends the following guidelines taken from “The Ohio State Univer sity Weed Control Guide for Ohio Field Crops:” • Partially fill the tank with water and add household am monia (one gallon per 100 gal lons of water) or a commercial tank cleaner. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the boom, hoses and nozzles. • Completely fill the tank with water again and allow it to agitate for at least 15 minutes before flushing the boom, hoses and nozzles and draining the tank. • Finally, completely fill the tank with water again and flush the tank, boom and hoses for five minutes. • Nozzles and screens can be cleaned separately and bare metal parts should be stored over the winter in oil. “Clean the equipment on a pad or impermeable surface so you can recover the rinse water, which is also called rinsate,” said Kick-Raack. The rinsate legally can be used if it is labeled for the in tended application crop and the amount of pesticide in the final mix doesn’t exceed label rates for that acreage, she said. Ideally, a pesticide loading, mixing and cleaning area could be built to collect water runoff BUY. SELL.

Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, October 28, 2000*05 and avoid contamination, she said. Plans for building such an area are available from county offices of Ohio State University Extension. If a cleaning area is unavailable, it may be easier to manage rinsates by taking clean water to the field and cleaning empty equipment at the applica tion site. “Clean sprayers in an area where there is threat of runoff entering a waterway or well,” Kick-Raack said. Also avoid cleaning sprayers in the same field location multi ple times. Over time, the sur rounding area could become contaminated with pesticides. “While cleaning the sprayer, be sure to wear personal protec tive clothing and equipment,” Kick-Raack said. Cleaning still presents a risk of exposure to pesticides similar to other pesti cide handling tasks. When cleaning a sprayer, wear the per sonal protective equipment the pesticide label requires for han dling jobs, plus a chemical resistant apron. For more information about cleaning sprayers and other pes ticide application procedures, guides are available at county offices of Ohio State University Extension.
