Description Institute project
A commercially available tractor-operated aeroblast sprayer was evaluated during 2001 for its performance in laboratory and in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) orchard with different speeds of tractor PTO shaft and five settings of flow rate regulating valve. A straight line relationship between discharge rate and the speed of PTO shaft of the tractor was observed. The sprayer can be operated at tractor forward speed of 5.00 to 5.50 km/hr with an effective field capacity of 2.30 to 2.40 ha/hr without causing any discomfort to the operator. The application rate of chemical solution was 475 to 625 litres/ha. The deposition efficiency was 84.25 (± 3.36) % on periphery of tree canopy. The penetration of solution of the sprayed chemicals to the tree was sufficient for effective utilization of pesticide. The area of coverage on tree canopy in vertical plain was not sufficient with only one main spout of the sprayer, necessitating modification in design of the sprayer.
