Spray drift is a practical consequence of agricultural spraying operations. Because of the
agronomical and environmental impacts of this phenomenon, drift has been widely studied …

Spray drift assessment encompasses classification of the capacity of each
sprayer/technology/setting combination to reduce or avoid the spray drift risk, as well as drift …

The quality of agricultural sprays plays an important role in the application of plant protection
products. For 13 nozzle-pressure combinations, droplet size and velocity characteristics …

Air assisted orchard sprayers are characterized by a strong airflow that carries the pesticide

Dicamba is an important herbicide for controlling post-emergent resistant weeds in soybean
farming. Recently, the scientific community and general public have further examined off …

This study's objective was to evaluate the functionality of an ad hoc test bench for spray drift
measurement with boom sprayers, using it for evaluating different nozzles according to drift …

Adjuvants are included in many pesticide spray mixtures to enhance the performance of the
applied chemical. Many adjuvants which modify the emulsion or extensional viscosity of the …

BACKGROUND The efficacy and environmental sustainability of pesticide application
largely depend on maximizing target coverage, while minimizing off‐target losses. Recently …

Since the 2010s, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sprayer was applied more and more
