Agriculture Spray Machinery Pattern Testing and Validation by the use of GIS and the use of a Dilution of Active Ingredient in Wastewater

摘要

The scope of the present study is the spraying pattern testing, GIS modelling, validation and mapping of the application spray rate of field crop sprayer machinery in order to develop a method for the application of more accurate weed control with improved adjustments (pressure and volume of the chemical fluid, spraying boom height, spraying nozzles angle, calculation and selection of the appropriate forward speed of the tractor) and aiming to reduce environmental and economic costs associated with weed control. The spraying pattern testing, GIS modelling and mapping results provide an opportunity for the application of more accurate weed control technology in order to reduce environmental and agroeconomic costs associated with weed control.
