Airflow characteristics of a spray UAV and its effect on spray droplet transportation Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Assessment of microbial biocontrol agent (BCA) viability to mechanical and thermal stress by simulating spray application conditions Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
BACKGROUND: In order to improve the biological control agent (BCA) efficacy, stress factors threatening the viability of microorganisms during spray application need to be determined. The effect of spray mixture temperature and exposure time on Trichoderma harzianum T 22 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens QST713 viability were tested. Concurrently the combined effect of mechanical and thermal stress effect on BCA viability were tested at two ...
Performance of drift-reducing nozzles in controlling small weed seedlings with contact herbicides Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In many EU countries, spray applications should comply with increasingly stringent requirements regarding the drift reduction class of spray nozzles. Many farmers fear that the use of drift-reducing nozzles producing coarse droplet spectra may compromise the performance of contact herbicides on small weed targets. This study examined the effects of various ISO 03 drift-reducing flat-fan nozzles (pre-orifice and single and dual flat-fan air ...

Evaluation of compact air-induction flat fan nozzles for herbicide applications: Spray drift and biological efficacy Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Nozzles are the most critical component of a sprayer for pesticide applications. Recently, air-induction nozzles and twin flat-fan air-induction nozzles have started to be used for herbicide applications. In order to evaluate the potential of compact air-induction nozzles for herbicide spraying, this paper compares the effects of air-induction nozzles and standard flat-fan nozzles on spray atomization, deposition, drift, and weed control ...
