What is a benefit of proper calibration during pesticide application?

Proper calibration during pesticide application is essential because it ensures that the correct amount of pesticide is applied to the targeted area. This practice minimizes waste by preventing over-application, which not only conserves the pesticide but also reduces environmental impact. By applying only the necessary amount of pesticide, it helps to manage costs effectively, as less product is wasted and there is also a decrease in the potential for environmental cleanup or regulatory fines associated with misuse or overuse.

In addition to conserving the pesticide and saving money, accurate calibration enhances the efficacy of the pesticide by ensuring optimal levels of application, which can lead to better pest control outcomes. Thus, the primary benefit of proper calibration is effectively managing both pesticide usage and costs.
