Pesticides can be applied in various ways, including spraying directly onto crop plants using equipment such as sprayers or dusters, treating seeds with pesticide coatings before planting, and applying pesticides to soil either before or after planting.

Common methods of applying pesticides in agriculture include:
1. Spraying: Using handheld or tractor-mounted sprayers to disperse pesticides as droplets over crop foliage.
2. Dusting: Applying powdered pesticides using mechanical dusters.
3. Drenching: Pouring liquid pesticides directly at the base of plants or into the soil.
4. Fumigation: Releasing gaseous pesticides into enclosed spaces to control pests.
5. Seed treatment: Coating seeds with pesticides before planting to protect against soil-borne pests and diseases.
