The worldwide growing demand for food is pushing the agricultural field towards new
innovative solutions to increase the efficiency and productivity of cultivations. In this …

A step-by-step laboratory procedure was used to identify the optimal configuration of a tower-
shaped trailed sprayer intended for application in vertical shoot trellised vineyards. Different …

Highlights•Spray parameters were measured for PWM-controlled disc-core hollow-cone
nozzles.•Pressures acting on PWM valves and nozzle orifices were significantly …

This work focuses on leveraging deep learning for agricultural applications, especially for
spray pattern segmentation and spray cone angle estimation. These two characteristics are …

As the most critical factor affecting pesticide application efficiency and drift risk, the airflow
characteristics of air-assisted sprayers have been of great concern. This study compared …

An orchard sprayer prototype running a variable-rate algorithm to adapt the spray volume to
the canopy characteristics (dimensions, shape and leaf density) in real-time was designed …

Precision application of pesticides based on tree canopy characteristics such as tree height
is more environmentally friendly and healthier for humans. Offline prescription maps can be …

Automated technologies in precision agriculture enable unmanned systems to precisely
target areas with chemicals through controlled nozzle movements. Quantitative assessment …
