Atmosphere, Volume 15, Issue 6

2024 June - 120 articles

Cover Story: Although Plant Protection Products play a fundamental role nowadays, atmosphere contamination can easily occur due to wind drift. Using the correct spray nozzle, together with other practices, can reduce the drift and guarantee better performances. As such, our aim was to characterize the spray erogated by a conventional hollow cone nozzle and an anti-drift air inclusion nozzle mounted on a full-scale orchard sprayer in a 10 × 6 × 30 m (H × L × W) wind tunnel. Large droplets (>40 μm) were studied using Particle/Droplet Image Analysis, while smaller droplets (40–0.056 μm) were first sampled with a multi-stage cascade impactor and then analyzed with an HPLC-MS/MS analytical technique.
