First of all, after washing with a sprayer of herbicide (glyphosate), it can be washed once with turbid muddy water, then washed off with mud, and it can be used.

However, we also need to know that different types of herbicides require different cleaning methods.

There are generally three types of herbicides currently on the market: liquids, suspensions, and emulsions. Therefore, depending on the type you use, it is most correct to decide how to clean them, but the principle is almost the same, that is, use water or add some The cleaning agent, by shaking up and down, cleans the pesticide residue inside the sprayer.
