Closed Transfer Systems

An integral part of Smart Stewardship is to enable and promote high-tech solutions to minimize exposure to pesticides and safeguard human health. easyconnect represents one such example.

easyconnect allows faster and safer sprayer filling compared to conventional methods. The system is comprised of two components: a unique cap, pre-fitted on the pesticide containers and a coupler, saving time and effort when loading a sprayer while diminishing significantly the operator’s exposure or the risk of spills that may lead to detrimental environmental repercussions. If you wish to learn more, visit the official easyconnect website.

For more information on the potential to reduce operator exposure, see the publication "Minimizing operator exposure: field data analysis of three closed transfer systems for pesticide mixing and loading" (Sasturain et al. ,2024).
