When should routine chemigation inspections be conducted?

Routine chemigation inspections should be conducted regularly as part of best practices to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the irrigation system and to prevent potential contamination of water sources. Regular inspections help to identify any leaks, malfunctions, or other issues that could compromise the system's integrity and lead to the unintended release of chemicals into the environment. By incorporating these inspections into a regular maintenance schedule, operators can proactively address problems, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and protecting public health and the environment. This approach not only mitigates risks associated with chemigation but also promotes responsible management practices that are essential for sustainable agricultural operations.
