Developing strategies to reduce spray drift in pneumatic spraying in vineyards: Assessment of the parameters affecting droplet size in pneumatic spraying
(Elsevier, 2017-10-27)
Article
Open AccessPneumatic sprayers are widely used in vineyards due to their very fine droplet size, which makes the drift risk to become an important problem to be considered. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the spout ... -
First attempts to obtain a reference drift curve for traditional olive grove's plantations following ISO 22866
(Elsevier, 2018-06-15)
Article
Open AccessThe current standard for the field measurements of spray drift (ISO 22866) is the only official standard for drift measurements in field conditions for all type of crops, including bushes and trees. A series of field ... -
Reducing spray drift by adapting the spraying equipment to the canopy shape in olive orchards with isolated trees
(2018)
Conference report
Open AccessThe lack of specificity of the spraying equipment commonly used in olive orchards is a remarkable problem, for not allowing farmers to apply adjusted pesticide doses to their trees, making necessary to spray very high ... -
Testing the suitability of a terrestrial 2D LiDAR scanner for canopy characterization of greenhouse tomato crops
(2016-09-01)
Article
Open AccessCanopy characterization is essential for pesticide dosage adjustment according to vegetation volume and density. It is especially important for fresh exportable vegetables like greenhouse tomatoes. These plants are thin ... -
Towards an optimized method of olive tree crown volume measurement
(2015-02-04)
Article
Open AccessAccurate crown characterization of large isolated olive trees is vital for adjusting spray doses in three-dimensional crop agriculture. Among the many methodologies available, laser sensors have proved to be the most ...
