Plant Protection - Larger, faster and even more precise
Abstract:
The trend within the field of spraying technology is still towards the use of larger working width and a moderately higher working speed. Hereby, a lot of technical solutions are assisting the operator while spraying in different ways, for example with the aim of saving pesticides, the compliance of legal regulations, the management of sprayer´s handling as well as the protection of the operator. New tendencies can be found in the field of drift control. The concept of reducing the distance between nozzles and crop target area down to 25 cm was enhanced by better boom suspension. Furthermore, a specific nozzle for this configuration was accredited by JKI for the first time.
