Sustainable and powerful plant protection
Abstract:
There is a clear trend towards large equipment. An increase in precision farming can be expected in the future. GPS and GIS systems will facilitate registering and documenting plant protection measures in future. Large and efficient plant protection equipment is generally equipped with an electronic spray control unit for regulating the amount of spray liquid, and increasingly with further electronic functions/assisting systems. Drift reducing injector nozzles are a simple and very effective instrument to reduce standard buffer zones to surface water and ecotones. The quality of distribution from field sprayers is also guaranteed for large boom widths and higher driving speeds. The equipment comprises effective filling devices, cleaning and circulation systems, and other means of avoiding point sources from plant protection products.
