Abstract

The projects of tractors and sprayer’s inspections are accomplished for a long time. These projects aiming to get information about the quality of the machines involved in agrochemical’s application. The inspections are important due the need that any application be efficient avoiding contaminations of environmental, peoples and animals. Then, it was accomplished this research with objective to do inspection and get information on the operation conditions and use of sprayers and tractors in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Sul State. During the inspection it was evaluated the items: manometers, tank, filters, spraying nozzles, safety items, and tractor items. The machines were classified as approved, approved with restrictions and disapproved. It was inspected 84 sprayers and 75 tractors. Only four sprayers (4.8 %) were approved, and the number of the disapproved sprayers was positively related to the machinery age. The self propelled sprayers were the most approved machine. The methodology was efficient allowing fast and comprehensive inspection.
