First and foremost, it's crucial to carefully manage the concentration of the pesticide solution. The amount of the drug applied should be appropriate—too high a concentration may kill the pests, but it can also lead to phytotoxicity in plants and pose risks of poisoning to humans and animals. On the other hand, if the concentration is too low, the effectiveness of the pesticide will be reduced, and pests may develop resistance over time, making future control more difficult. Secondly, it's important to strictly follow the safety interval between pesticide applications. Pesticides should be used based on their residual period, which is typically 7 to 10 days. It's not advisable to reapply the same pesticide during this time, as it can increase costs, raise the likelihood of pest resistance, or result in prolonged exposure after the residual period has ended. If pesticides are not used properly, a large number of pests may remain in the field. For leafy vegetables that are about to be harvested, even a small number of remaining pests can cause serious problems before the vegetables are sold. Therefore, it's essential to use short-term, low-toxicity pesticides, allow sufficient time for the residue to dissipate, and only sell the produce after the safety period has passed. Thirdly, the use of highly toxic and persistent pesticides is strictly prohibited. Although these products may show quick results in controlling pests, they also harm the natural predators of the pests and can leave harmful residues in the vegetables. Consuming such contaminated crops can easily lead to poisoning in humans and animals. As a result, the use of highly toxic or long-residue pesticides is banned, especially on leafy vegetables. Instead, it's recommended to use high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and low-residue pesticides, as well as biological alternatives that are safer for both the environment and human health. Lastly, it's important to avoid applying pesticides during the hottest hours of summer and autumn, particularly at noon. Applying pesticides under such conditions increases the risk of crop damage and poisoning, especially when the temperature is extremely high. This practice not only reduces the effectiveness of the pesticide but also poses unnecessary risks to workers and the surrounding ecosystem. Always choose cooler times of the day for application to ensure both safety and optimal results.
