Description: Modern pest management programs demand reduced application rates and more precise placement of chemicals (Hagleyetal. 1978). It is difficult to achieve insect and disease control in the top center of the tree canopy with many current sprayers, particularly when application rates are reduced (Fisher et al. 1976). A study of the factors affecting sprayer performance is needed. Commercially available spray machines are not suited for such a study because they have large pesticide tanks, fans and nozzle manifolds fixed in position, and air volume and release angle fixed within relatively narrow limits. For these reasons, an experimental orchard sprayer was designed and fabricated as reported here.
