Influence of Spray Volume on Spray Deposition and Coverage within Nursery Trees [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 2008 Abstract Information on better utilizing airblast sprayers to achieve high pesticide spray application efficiency in nursery tree production is needed. Foliar spray deposition and coverage at different heights inside crabapple tree canopies were investigated for a conventional airblast sprayer operating at four different application rates ...

Predictive Spray Switching for an Efficient Path Planning Pattern for Area Coverage
AgriEngineeringThis paper presents, within an arable farming context, a predictive logic for the on- and off-switching of a set of nozzles. The predictive logic is tailored to a specific path planning pattern. The nozzles are assumed to be attached to a boom aligned along a working width and carried by a piece of machinery with the purpose of applying spray along the

Estimation of film antitranspirant spray coverage on rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) leaves using titanium dioxide [PDF]
, 2021 Film antitranspirant (AT) forms a physical layer to block stomata on the leaf surface and thus improve plant water status under drought. There is little understanding of how leaf coverage relates to the physiological mechanism, so a reliable method of ...

The Effect of Sample Height on Spray Coverage in Mature Pecan Trees [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2015 Pecan scab (caused by Fusicladium effusum) is the most damaging disease of pecan in the southeastern United States. Large air-blast sprayers for orchards are used to apply fungicide to control the disease but little quantitative information exists on the spray coverage achieved in the canopy of these trees.
