EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE APPLICATION OF THE PLANT PROTECTION TREATMENTS USING CROP DUSTERS
Abstract
Using crop dusters at the current time constitutes an important and effective means to perform agricultural and forestry works, especially when is not possible to use terrestrial equipments, or when their use not ensure an increased productivity for optimum application of the works. So, in the case in which the excess moisture content in the soil makes it impossible to use terrestrial equipments, the use of crop dusters represents the only possibility of intervention, in order to ensure an effective fight against pests and diseases. Development of technologies that does not support comparison with those obtained by the use of the terrestrial equipments, as well as the possibility of carrying out treatments with low volume and ultra low volume of pharmacologically substance, using pneumatic and centrifugal scattering systems, has determined that the specialists in this field to grant this technology a special importance. Highlighting the obtained effect of combating and also the superior effectiveness of treatments carried out with crop dusters is one of the major features of this work. The work raises in a uniform manner problems concerning an uniform application of the sprayed solution and presents the possibilities for the determination of the liquid flow, the treated areas, all of these in direct relation with the productivity of the crop duster.
