UPA Cádiz organizes a field demonstration day on plant protection products in Rota

• The activity will be held on March 25, 2026 on a plot of land in Rota (Cadiz) and will include practical demonstrations on inspection and maintenance of application equipment.

UPA Cádiz will hold a field demonstration day on plant protection products on March 25, 2026, aimed at professionals in the agricultural sector interested in improving the handling, maintenance and proper use of application equipment, as well as learning about the regulatory requirements associated with these tasks.

The event will take place on plot 56 of polygon 14 in Rota (Cadiz) , from 10:00 to 14:00 , and will offer an eminently practical approach to bring attendees closer to key aspects related to the correct application of plant protection products in agricultural holdings.

The program will begin at 10:00 a.m. with an introduction , distribution of materials, and an initial presentation by a technician from UPA Cádiz . Following this, at 10:30 a.m. , the maintenance of pesticide application equipment and current regulations will be addressed—a fundamental aspect for ensuring both the effectiveness of treatments and compliance with technical and legal obligations.

Starting at 11:30 a.m. , participants can attend a practical demonstration of an ITEAF (Technical Inspection of Agricultural and Forestry Equipment) on a hydraulic sprayer , also guided by technical staff from UPA Cádiz. Later, at 1:00 p.m. , a second practical demonstration will take place, focusing on an ITEAF of a hydropneumatic sprayer . This will allow participants to see firsthand how these inspections work and the components checked on each type of equipment.

The day will conclude at 2:00 pm with a Spanish wine reception , also offering a relaxed space for the exchange of impressions between attendees and technicians.

This activity is an opportunity of interest to farmers and professionals in the sector who wish to update their knowledge on the responsible use of plant protection products, machinery maintenance and the importance of technical inspections to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability in application work.
