Oprysków

Oprysków is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun oprysk. The term oprysk refers to the act of spraying crops with plant protection products, as well as to the spray itself and the operation of applying these substances. In agricultural contexts, oprysk describes the seasonal procedure of applying pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides to crops to control pests, diseases, and weeds. The concept covers both the process and the material used, including the spray solution and the equipment involved.

In grammar, oprysków is used whenever the sentence requires the genitive plural. Examples include koszty oprysków (the costs of sprays), harmonogram oprysków (the schedule of spraying operations), and po opryskach (after spraying). The nominative plural form is opryski.

Opryski are a major component of crop protection and are carried out with a variety of equipment, such as sprayers operated manually or mechanically. They are subject to agricultural best practices, including proper timing, rotation of active ingredients, and safety considerations to minimize environmental impact. Regulations governing the use of plant protection products govern application methods, timing, and safety, with requirements for trained handlers and adherence to guidelines designed to protect health and biodiversity.
