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 fan settings, air-conveyor orientation, and nozzle were tested their effect on both airflow pattern spray distribution. The rate at outlet velocity crop target distance identified different settings obtained by combination two gear speeds three Power Take Off (450, 500 540 rev min−1). difference between...
Assessment of vertical spray profile is one the main steps to adjust sprayers for bush and tree crops, as it allows verify that plume matches target canopy profile. The equipment used assessing typically a test bench or patternator. Even if sprayer adjustment recommended in EU Directive 128/2009/EC, use benches only optional procedures inspection air-assisted currently adopted Member States, mainly refer EN 13790-2 new ENISO FDIS 16122-3. At present, International Standards, there not any...
During pesticide application spray drift may cause diffuse pollution phenomena in the environment. In last years European Union, through Directive on sustainable use of pesticides (128/2009 EC), has recommended adoption measures enabling to prevent drift. Among these measures, buffer zones beside sprayed fields requires consider different widths for no according amount generated by spraying equipment used application. It is therefore necessary classify sprayer models risk. For what concerns...
