Three commercial air-assisted sprayers were tested in a hedgerow vineyard, at full vegetative development (end of July; leaf area index = 1.94), using a water-soluble food dye as a tracer. The spraying equipment used was (1) a high-volume (1355 l ha(-1)) axial-fan sprayer; (2) a low-volume (246 l ha(-1)) compressed-air sprayer (3) a sprayer fitted with deflectable ail outlets, allowing an adjustment of the output angle, relative to the row direction, from 90 degrees to 118 degrees. All application techniques appeared to be capable of delivering more than 64% of the sprayed material onto the leaves and grapes. The high-volume sprayer provided the most uniform distribution over the foliage. The change of the output angle from 90 degrees to 118 degrees did not significantly affect total leaf deposition, but increased the overall variability of the deposits.

Abstract

Three commercial air-assisted sprayers were tested in a hedgerow vineyard, at full vegetative development (end of July; leaf area index = 1.94), using a water-soluble food dye as a tracer. The spraying equipment used was (1) a high-volume (1355 l ha(-1)) axial-fan sprayer; (2) a low-volume (246 l ha(-1)) compressed-air sprayer (3) a sprayer fitted with deflectable ail outlets, allowing an adjustment of the output angle, relative to the row direction, from 90 degrees to 118 degrees. All application techniques appeared to be capable of delivering more than 64% of the sprayed material onto the leaves and grapes. The high-volume sprayer provided the most uniform distribution over the foliage. The change of the output angle from 90 degrees to 118 degrees did not significantly affect total leaf deposition, but increased the overall variability of the deposits.
