Which device is used for applying herbicide by hand-squeezing without a boom?

• A. Backpack sprayer
• B. Trigger pump
• C. Spot gun
• D. Wiping applicator

Answer: (B)

Hand-squeeze, no-boom applications use a trigger-pump device. This type of sprayer is designed for precise, localized spraying: you squeeze a trigger to pressurize the liquid and force it out through a nozzle. Because there’s no boom involved, it’s ideal for spot treatments or targeted weed control along a right-of-way, edges, or around obstacles where you don’t want to broadcast herbicide over a wide area. The trigger-pump setup is portable, easy to control, and focused on small-area application, which is why it’s the best fit for hand-squeezed applications without a boom.
