The application of insecticide, fungicide and disinfectants with Dyna-Fog ULV and fogging equipments results in the chemical being dispersed quickly and thoroughly to give a high standard of control
Some of the advantages are:
Fog particle will penetrate dense foliage
The low volume of water used will not raise the humidity or leave the foliage wet to promote the growth of diseases.
Evenness’ application ensures no visible deposits on fruits, flowers or leaves.
The speed of the application gives great saving in time and permits the treatment to be maid when convenient.
Grain stores
To disinfect empty grain stores and silos prior to storing newly harvested grain, it is essential to thoroughly clean all surfaces prior to treatment to ensure that insects are not protected from the spray by layers of dust.
A thermal fog will thoroughly penetrate all parts of the structure, but where there are relatively deep crevices (in brick or wood) the use of a formulation which also has a residual effect should be applied with a ULV machine such as the
Dyna-Fog® HURRICANE™,
Dyna-Fog® TORNADO™,
Dyna-Fog® TWISTER XL™, or
Dyna-Fog® MISTER III™ to give a higher level of control.
Tropical crops
Dyna-Fog® thermal foggers can be successfully used in a number of tree crops where the leaves form a "closed" canopy and the advantage of a thermal fog in that it will carry the chemical up to this canopy, which is often at a considerably height and surfaces. The canopy will then retain the fog until it has settled onto the leaf. Two crops commonly treated are rubber and oil palm, but cocoa, coconuts and others, can also be suitable crops for such treatment.
Thermal fogging is used for applying insecticides, but more commonly for applying fungicides.
In rubber crop the two principal diseases are odium and phytophasu. Any chemical can be applied in this manner, but to ensure that the chemical is carried up to the canopy it must be formulated in suitable oil. The treatment is also best carried out early in the morning when the thermal up currents are at their strongest and the prevailing winds are at their weakest.
Hand held models such as the Dyna-Fog® GOLDEN EAGLE™ and SUPERHAWK™ can be used when the terrain is unsuitable for vehicular travel, but when the terrain permits the Dyna-Fog® 1200 is the model of choice.
