What is the primary function of a spray tank system?

The primary function of a spray tank system is to mix herbicides, diluents, and adjuvants. This mixing process is crucial to ensure that the pesticides are applied in the correct proportions and are effective in targeting the intended aquatic weeds. Mixing involves combining active ingredients with other substances that enhance the efficacy of the herbicides, such as surfactants that improve adhesion, or emulsifiers that prevent separation of mixed solutions. An accurately mixed solution is vital for optimizing the performance of the herbicides and ensuring that the chemical application adheres properly to the target plants.

While applying pesticides directly to plants is a function of the entire spraying system that includes the spray tank, the tank itself is primarily responsible for the preparation of the solution before it is applied. Similarly, while storing herbicides is part of managing pesticide use, it is not the main function of the spray tank system, which focuses more on mixing than on long-term storage. Measuring pressure is important for ensuring the proper delivery of the pesticide, but it is a more secondary aspect of system functionality compared to the critical mixing role the spray tank plays.
