What materials should hoses in a spray system be resistant to?

Hoses in a spray system must be resistant to the chemicals used in herbicides because these chemicals can be corrosive or otherwise harmful to materials that are not specifically designed to handle them. If hoses are not compatible with the herbicides being used, they may degrade over time, leading to leaks or failures in the spray system. This could result in improper application of herbicides, which could either diminish the effectiveness of the weed control or create risks of environmental contamination.

Selecting hoses that can withstand the specific chemical makeup of various herbicides ensures both safety and efficacy in aquatic weed control practices. Moreover, it helps maintain the integrity of the entire spraying system, ensuring consistent performance and longevity of the equipment. Proper hose material contributes significantly to successful management of aquatic vegetation while minimizing environmental risks associated with pesticide application.
