What type of equipment would you typically use for small-scale work with liquid pesticides?

Using hose-end sprayers for small-scale work with liquid pesticides is appropriate because these devices are designed for ease of use and versatility in smaller areas such as gardens, landscapes, or small farms. Hose-end sprayers allow the applicator to mix the pesticide directly with water in the sprayer, enabling a controlled and efficient application method. They are generally more manageable and easier to handle for smaller projects compared to larger equipment options.

In contrast, tractors are better suited for large-scale agricultural applications, as they are designed for extensive coverage and heavier workloads. High-pressure sprayers, while effective for larger areas, may not be necessary or practical for small-scale work due to their size and capacity. Drone application is an emerging technology that typically serves large areas or hard-to-reach places, which would be overkill for small-scale pesticide application, making hose-end sprayers the most suitable choice for such tasks.
