15.2 Wind influence
If possible, avoid spraying in windy conditions. If this is not possible, remember the
following:
-
use special nozzles (“Anti drift”, injection nozzles, etc.)
- use nozzles with larger flow rates
- lower the pressure during spraying
-
use nozzles which spray bigger drops (400 μm)
- reduce the working speed
- spray in the direction of the wind.
15.3 Water consumption during spraying
Adjust the water consumption to the growth of the crop and the way the protection agent is
working which you will be using. Normally, the water consumption per hectare ranges from
100 to 600 litres. When using herbicides, which are commonly sprayed on weedy crops bare
of plants, use smaller water quantities (from 100 to 300 litres). Too much water can lower the
spraying efficiency, especially when using herbicides which are absorbed through the leaves
of the weed. When spraying plants with fungicides and insecticides, a higher amount of water
is normally used. Too much water, however, can cause insecticide to drip of the leaves and
therefore loss of insecticide.
Spraying parameter settings should be such
that the overlap of jets between the two
nozzles is minimal.
A – Distance between the nozzles
H – Height of nozzles above the crops
Δ – Sprinkling angle
