Quality of fungicide application on trellised grapevines by a sprayer prototype (2005)

A novel sprayer prototype has been designed to reduce dramatically the amount of pesticide used for crop protection. The prototype sprayer was constructed with its nozzleholder booms forming a kind of tunnel that travels over the plants. Spraying is thus performed in an enclosed space, preventing droplets from being blown away by the wind.
