Droplet Size and Velocity Characteristics of Agricultural Sprays

The quality of agricultural sprays plays an important role in the application of plant protection products. For 13 nozzle-pressure combinations, droplet size and velocity characteristics were measured 0.50 m below the nozzle using a PDPA laser-based measurement setup. Nozzles were mounted on a transporter to sample the whole of the spray fan. The effects of nozzle type (standard, low-drift, and air-inclusion), nozzle size (ISO 02, 03, 04, and...
