Permetezni

Permetezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to spray or to apply a liquid to a surface or organism by means of a spray. The action generally involves dispersing a liquid as a fine mist over plants, soil, structures, or objects. The noun form is permetezés, referring to the act or process of spraying, including the application of liquids such as plant protection products, fertilizers, disinfectants, or cleaning agents.

The word is formed from the noun permet, meaning spray or mist, with the infinitive suffix -ezni. In common agricultural and horticultural usage, permetezés denotes the application of substances to crops or garden plants to control pests, diseases, or to provide foliar nutrition. It is also used in contexts such as public health or industry where liquids are dispersed through sprayers.

Typical applications include agricultural pesticide spraying (növényvédő szer permetezése), fungicide or insecticide applications, herbicidal sprays, as well as foliar fertilizer programs. Equipment ranges from handheld and backpack sprayers to tractor-mounted machines, irrigation sprayers, and increasingly drone-based systems. The technique emphasizes proper calibration, uniform coverage, and minimizing drift to protect non-target ecosystems.

Safety and regulatory considerations are central to permissive use: operators wear protective clothing and eye protection, follow label directions for active ingredients, and consider weather conditions to reduce drift and runoff. Environmental and human health concerns shape best practices and legal requirements governing permetezés.
