A study was conducted for the efficient delivery of bio-pesticides for controlled spray application by selecting proper nozzles and operating parameters. The spray parameters of two different classes of bio-pesticides (bacterial-based Bacillus thuringiensis and fungal-based Beauveria bassiana) were evaluated for discharge by three different sizes of hollow cone nozzles (1.14, 2.31, and 3.56 mm in diameter) at four operating pressures (145, 245, 345 and 445 kPa). The discharge, spray width, cone angle, coefficient of uniformity (CU), volume median diameter (VMD), droplet volume fraction at 90 % (DV0.9) and 10 % (DV0.1), and span of the water solution and two bio-pesticide solutions were measured. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in mean discharge, spray width, and cone angle among water, bacterial-based bio-pesticide (BBP), and fungal-based bio-pesticide (FBP) solutions. But, these spray parameters for the selected solutions differed significantly (p Not Available |
