Application Carrier Volume: A Comprehensive Evaluation Of An Ultra-Low Volume Sprayer Compared To A Conventional Sprayer For Row-Crop And Turfgrass Production Systems, Jason Connor Ferguson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
An Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) sprayer was developed to decrease carrier volume required for pesticide applications in row and turfgrass cropping systems. The ULV sprayer can make spray applications at or below 19 L ha-1, which is far lower than a conventional sprayer in row crop or turfgrass production systems. Field studies were conducted at the University of Nebraska West Central Research and Extension Center Dryland Farm near North Platte, NE and the John Seaton Anderson Turfgrass Research Facility near Mead, NE to compare the ULV sprayer to a conventional sprayer. Studies were conducted to compare the two sprayers …
