Laboratory And Full Boom-Based Investigation Of Nozzle Setup Error Effects On Flow, Pressure, And Spray Pattern Distribution, Shane H. Forney, Joe D. Luck, Michael F. Kocher, Santosh Pitla
Laboratory And Full Boom-Based Investigation Of Nozzle Setup Error Effects On Flow, Pressure, And Spray Pattern Distribution, Shane H. Forney, Joe D. Luck, Michael F. Kocher, Santosh Pitla
Department of Biological Systems Engineering: Papers and Publications
Pesticide application is an integral part of crop production, and ground-based agricultural boom sprayers are used extensively to apply pesticides to the crop canopy or soil surface across millions of acres in the United States. Efficient application is necessary to minimize costs and limit adverse environmental impacts. The goals of this study were to provide quantified measurements on the effects of nozzle setup errors on spray pattern uniformity and evaluate how laboratory patternator-based simulations would compare to measurements on a full spray boom. More specific objectives were to determine the effects of factors such as nozzle lateral angle, nozzle spacing, …
