New Practice for Spray System Cleanout
1. Scope
This practice is to describe the method that should be followed to properly cleanout spraying systems following an application of a pesticide or a tank mix of several pesticides. The spraying systems can be self-propelled, pull behind, manned aerial (plane or helicopter), UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles or drones), backpack sprayers, or handheld pump-up sprayers.

Rationale
This is a new proposed practice to address the procedure for cleaning out Agricultural Spray equipment. The practice seeks to address all types of spray equipment and is only designed to provide standardization to the clean out process. The practice does not aim to address the amount of residual or the cleanliness of the spray equipment. That will be addressed in a separate method.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
