Danish and Brajrajsharan TiwariEfficient and precise application of phytosanitary products is vital for sustainable insect pest management in large-scale agriculture. This chapter explores the critical components of spray application technology, focusing on the selection and maintenance of spray nozzles, droplet size dynamics, and strategies to minimize spray drift. Emphasizing best practices and technological innovations, it underscores the importance of equipment calibration, environmental considerations, and water quality in enhancing pesticide efficacy while mitigating environmental impact. The integration of these elements ensures optimal pest control, reduces the risk of resistance development, and promotes environmental stewardship in agricultural practices.en-USSpray application technologyinsect pest managementspray nozzlesdroplet sizespray driftpesticide efficacyenvironmental impactwater qualityequipment calibrationBook chapter
