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]
Spanish 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 ...

Evaluation of laser range-finder mapping for agricultural spraying vehicles [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we present a new application of laser range-finder sensing to agricultural spraying vehicles. The current generation of spraying vehicles use automatic controllers to maintain the height of the sprayer booms above the crop. However, these

Flit-gun sprayer characteristics [PDF]
Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública, 1998 Six flit-gun sprayers were tested for possible use in mosquito adulticide programs where inexpensive nonmotorized application technology may be required. An analysis of variance for differences in droplets < or = 24 microns (mu), droplets > or = 48 mu, droplets/cm2, volume median diameters, and mosquito mortality is provided.
