Land-based industries awarding body Lantra has launched a short knapsack maintenance course.

Adopting material supplied by Hozelock-Exel, Lantra-accredited training providers Outlook Training, Greenscope Training and Harper Adams University collaborated to design the course, intended "to prolong equipment lifetime, ensure correct application of liquids and save time and money".

The course provides the knowledge to "maintain and service handheld pesticide, feeds and control products applicators," says David Fisher, Lantra Head of Industry Partnerships, "and is available for learners aged 16-plus who hold Safe Use of Pesticides and Handheld Application of Pesticides qualifications."

"For pesticides and general users, it is vital to ensure equipment is safe, fully calibrated and in good working order," he adds. "The outcome from taking the course is that operators can prolong the life of their sprayers, while also helping the environment by using trusted equipment."
