Air-assisted boom sprayer is proven to be one of the best pesticide application methods to
achieve uniform deposition of droplets in the canopy and improve the effective utilization of …

In orchard plant protection application, an anti-drift strategy can effectively reduce drift in the
non-target area, reduce spray drift in the environment, and avoid spray leakage and …

A step-by-step laboratory procedure was used to identify the optimal configuration of a tower-
shaped trailed sprayer intended for application in vertical shoot trellised vineyards. Different …

Abstract Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) solenoid valves can be used to control nozzle flow
rates for precision spray applications to reduce pesticide use, thereby reducing …

Air assistance and droplet's characteristics influence on the pesticide deposit and its
distribution over the intended target during the spray application process. The present …

BACKGROUND The efficacy and environmental sustainability of pesticide application
largely depend on maximizing target coverage, while minimizing off‐target losses. Recently …

The airblast sprayers are equipped with a fan generating an air stream that helps the
sprayed droplets to reach out and penetrate the tree canopy. Recently an automatic air …

Highlights•When UAVs fly over fields, the area of rice deformation is horseshoe
shaped.•Payload has greatest impact on the deformation, followed by flight speed, and …

Spray application technologies for specialty crops have developed considerably in recent
years with regard to improved control, reduced cost, and ability to avoid environmental …

As the most critical factor affecting pesticide application efficiency and drift risk, the airflow
characteristics of air-assisted sprayers have been of great concern. This study compared …
