摘要

· 102.6 ha sprayed in an hour and a quarter · Spra-Coupe high speed/low volume appli-cation key to success "Application rate of 16 litre/ha at 1.6 bar pres-sure · TeeJetXR80015VS nozzles provided cover-age of 60 - 90 droplets/cm{sup}2 (average of 72 droplets/cm{sup}2) · Spraying speed between 28 km/h to 37 km/h with 28 m wide boom provides workrates of 1.38 ha/min · Low volume technique reduced drift, saved chemical, increased penetration and improved chemical adherence to target · Improved chemical efficacy with overall saving in time, chemical cost Saving in fuel consumption - 30 litres for 102.6 ha or 0.3 litres/ha actual fuel consump-tion in record.
