Agrii Sprayer Operator Training Courses 

One of our aims at Agrii is to exchange with our growers, highly technical content and information of relevance that will assist in all aspects of modern farm and environmental management.

As part of this goal, we recently delivered a Sprayer Operator Course to complement the NRoSO Sprayer Training. Although NRoSO points are no longer available for this course, it is still packed full of practical advice to help safeguard the environment and maximise the efficiency of spray applications.

This course is delivered as part of our Green Horizons Initiative (https://www.agrii.co.uk/greenhorizons) and our ongoing commitment to operator and environmental safety.
