Comparison of the pesticide coverage achieved in a trellised vineyard by a prototype tunnel sprayer, a hydraulic sprayer, an air-assisted sprayer and a pneumatic sprayer [PDF]

open access: diamondSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2005
Spraying is the main method used to apply pesticides to trellised vines in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. If the efficiency of spray applications is to be improved, the amount of pesticide employed is to be reduced, and the performance of existing and new spray technology enhanced, the leaf coverage achieved must be known and a system developed that can ...

Quantification of parametric uncertainties induced by irregular soil loading in orchard tower sprayer nonlinear dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sound and Vibration, vol. 408, pp. 252-269, 2017, 2021
This paper deals with the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of an orchard tower sprayer subjected to random excitations due to soil irregularities. A consistent stochastic model of uncertainties is constructed to describe random loadings and to predict variabilities in mechanical system response.

Site-specific weed management in corn using UAS imagery analysis and computer vision techniques [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep 13, 6548 (2023), 2022
Currently, weed control in commercial corn production is performed without considering weed distribution information in the field. This kind of weed management practice leads to excessive amounts of chemical herbicides being applied in a given field.
