- A professional agricultural duster designed to distribute agricultural sulfur and dry powders efficiently on farms, in greenhouses and across a wide range of crops. It works with a manual air pump that turns the powder into a fine, even dust cloud that easily reaches the leaves and inner parts of the plant, improving the coverage of sulfur and powders used in programmes against powdery mildew, some fungal problems and spider mites.
- The large backpack tank allows longer working periods without frequent refilling, with precise control of dusting density according to the crop or target area. Continuous airflow distributes the powder steadily and evenly during operation, reducing variation in dusting density and improving coverage.
- It suits both conventional and organic farming and is a practical solution for growers who need to apply sulfur and agricultural powders without water or conventional sprayers. It runs without electricity, batteries or fuel, making it economical and easy to use on farms and in greenhouses. Made in Italy from tough, heavy-duty polypropylene, it is easy to maintain and original spare parts are available.

Directions for Use
- First close the powder flow regulator, then open the top lid and fill the tank with agricultural sulfur or a suitable powder. Use a fine, dry, lump-free powder for the best efficiency and to prevent blockages inside the unit.
- After filling, close the lid tightly, put the unit on your back and adjust the straps comfortably so you can move freely on the farm or in the greenhouse.
- Set the powder flow level with the regulator according to the required dusting density and the crop or target area.
- Move the manual operating lever steadily to generate airflow and push the powder through the hose and front nozzle for even distribution over plants and leaves.
- Keep a steady, regular walking pace for even coverage and less powder loss.
- For best results, aim the nozzle at the plants at an angle that lets the powder reach the leaves and inner parts of the plant.
- When finished, empty any remaining powder and clean the hose, nozzle, tank and internal filter to keep the unit working efficiently and extend its life.
Precautions
- For dry agricultural powders only – not suitable for liquids or liquid pesticides.
- Avoid using in strong wind to reduce powder drift.
- Wear a mask, gloves and safety glasses when handling agricultural powders.
- Do not leave powder in the unit for long periods, especially in humid weather, to avoid clumping in the tank or hose.
- Clean the unit after every use to keep powder flowing smoothly.
Orkida Tip
- For the best results with agricultural sulfur and biological powders, dust in the early morning or before sunset, use a fine, dry powder and move the lever at a steady pace for even coverage and less drift. Avoid excessive dusting density on sensitive plants to get the best efficiency without stressing the crop.
