What is a shaker can?

• A. A handheld applicator that dispenses a small, measured amount of pesticide.
• B. A type of equipment used in granular application.
• C. Includes handheld backpack sprayer.
• D. Is designed for irrigation devices.

Answer: (A)

A shaker can is a hand-held container designed to dispense a small, measured amount of dry pesticide in dust or powder form. You shake it to release just a little amount onto the target area, giving precise control over the application without creating a spray. This is different from liquids dispensed by a handheld sprayer, or from equipment used to apply granular materials or to irrigate, so it’s specifically for dry formulations that you want to apply very selectively.
