what is Fumigation, phytosanitary products and herbicides?
In this section we will explain what Fumigation, phytosanitary products and herbicides consist of. Fumigation is a process that consists of applying phytosanitary products and/or herbicides in gas or aerosol form to control and eliminate pests of all kinds, from insects to mites. For this process, different types of machines and tools are used depending on the result to be obtained, among them, the atomizers, the sulfating trucks, the fumigation backpacks or the spraying groups, among others.
From Intermaquinas we want to offer as much help as possible by explaining in this small user guide the functionalities of these types of machines so that you can learn to differentiate which machine is best suited to your needs.
Atomizers are devices that atomize liquids. This means that they transform the liquid into an aerosol or very fine droplets so that it can be applied by spraying. The liquid is forced through a nozzle by the atomizer pump, and the size of these fine droplets depends on the type of nozzle used.

Sulfate sprayers are essential tools for crop care. They are mainly used to apply calcium sulfate to fields to improve soil and crop quality. They stand out for their large tank capacity and wheels that allow them to be easily moved to where they are needed.

Fumigation backpacks are very useful tools for manually spraying any type of liquid, both phytosanitary and herbicide, distributing it in the form of a uniform fine mist. The tank should be made of corrosion resistant materials and the backpack itself should be comfortable to carry. It is recommended that they have shut-off valves to prevent leakage or spillage.

Spray units are primarily used to apply sulfate to fields in an automated manner versus backpacks for spraying. Spraying groups usually have better filters and a higher volume and speed of application, as well as being compatible with more types of accessories.
