    摘要: A wind tunnel device defines a cyclical tunnel to receive continuous airflow. Airflow is delivered through the tunnel to a testing region that includes a first portion carrying an arm including a spray tip configured to spray particulates in the testing region at an angle, and a second portion including an enlarged cutout region configured to receive the angled sprayed particulates. As airflow carries the angled spray particulates into the second portion, the enlarged cutout region enables the spray particulates to pass through and exit the second portion of the testing region. Analysis in the second region may be conducted through transparent walls free of openings to minimize exposure of the spray particulates to the exterior of the device. A scrubber is adapted to extract spray mist from the airflow as the airflow exits the testing region and is re-circulated through the cyclical tunnel.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods of applying agricultural compositions including a pesticide, a fertilizer, or a combination of two or more of these, and about 0.1% v/v to 1.0% v/v of an adjuvant composition. The methods provide for aerial application of the agricultural compositions at wind speeds of up to 170 mph without substantially increasing the number of driftable droplets dispensed compared to the number of driftable droplets dispensed by applying the agricultural compositions without the adjuvant.

    摘要: The application is generally directed towards a drop nozzle for an agricultural sprayer. The drop nozzle can be used to reduce spray drift as liquids are deposited by the sprayer. The drop nozzle includes a valve assembly including a shutoff valve, a tube operably connected to the valve assembly, and an airfoil connected to the tube. The shutoff valve selectively prevents fluid flow from the valve assembly to the tube and the airfoil directs airflow around one or more portions of the drop nozzle.

    摘要: The present application relates generally to a demonstration kit for various nozzles. The demonstration kit may include a spray assembly and a control assembly. The spray assembly may include a case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base, a plurality of back wall panels configured to be secured to a sidewall of the base, a boom connected to an interior surface of the case, and one or more nozzles connected to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom. The control assembly includes at least one pump that when in an operating orientation is fluidly connected to the one or more nozzles and a portable power supply in electrical communication with the at least one pump.
