Im getting ready to spray my soybeans, & corn (roundup ready) . What's the best way to wash out the sprayer after I'm done? I'm using the same sprayer I use on my lawn so I want to make sure I get it all out. In the past I have bought some kind of tank wash but was wondering if there was anything else that works. Thanks

I wash Mine out with Plain water just make sure you run plenty through the wand the amount left is so dilated it has never been a problem for me, I use the tank wash when I am done for the year

The mandate for old jugs is a triple rinse. The same can be said for your sprayer, I'm assuming it's relatively small so if you are in doubt, simply fill it up 3 times and drain it each time. Pressurize the tank enough to spray water through the nozzle for at least 20-30 seconds the last 2 times. Dump the rinse water away from any stream, but somewhere that it won't affect things that you want to stay green.  Generally when I rinse my sprayer I would dump it on the gravel driveway, but do it slowly so it doesn't run off too much. |
