Processes Involving Spray Surface Impact

  • Chapter

Abstract

Crop protection and fertilization are important to the efficiency of agricultural production. With a constantly growing world population applying pesticides to crops is considered to be indispensable in order to guarantee the supply of food. The technology of crop protection uses spray nozzles for an even distribution of atomized liquid onto the plants. The chemicals to be sprayed can be subdivided into herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, liquid fertilizers and bio-regulators. Improper application in agriculture, however, can cause severe environmental contamination. This necessitates the use of precise and high quality spray equipment.
