Seven years ago (in 2016), compulsory testing of machines for pesticide application was introduced in the Republic of Croatia. Testing of the technical correctness of machines is carried out every 3 years in authorized testing stations. According to the data so far, the technical condition of machines in the Republic of Croatia seven years ago was unsatisfactory. However, in 2022, it was determined that during the testing, over 88% of the machines were technical in order, regardless of the fact that the average age of the machines is over 21 years. In the paper, data on the number of mist-blowers, average age, manufacturer, type of machine and the most common malfunctions is obtained through the Phytosanitary Information System and the analysis of test results.
