Pesticide dose adjustment in fruit and grapevine orchards by DOSA3D: Fundamentals of the system and on-farm validation

Carla Roman et al.

Summary: Agricultural productivity relies on plant protection measures, with the use of chemical pesticides recommended as a last resort under IPM. DOSA3D is a decision support system that adjusts doses based on specific scenarios, resulting in significant pesticide savings.

Bases for pesticide dose expression and adjustment in 3D crops and comparison of decision support systems

Santiago Planas et al.

Summary: Authorities worldwide are committed to limiting chemical pesticide use through strategies like reducing doses. Different dose expression models and decision support systems exist for high growing crops, with LWA and TRV models being proposed by EPPO for pre-registration trials. Total leaf area is crucial for dose adjustment, while sprayer efficiency is also important. Recommendations for reporting deposition on leaves and promoting the use of DSSs for rational decision making are made.

Spray drift mitigation using opposing synchronized air-blast sprayers

Robert A. Van Steenwyk et al.

Summary: The novel spray technique (Air-in) significantly reduces pesticide drift by 53% to 99% at 7.6 m from the orchard drip line compared to standard methods, while maintaining or improving pesticide coverage on almond, walnut, and pistachio with minimal cost to growers.

Evaluation of an unmanned aerial vehicle as a new method of pesticide application for almond crop protection

Xuan Li et al.

Summary: The study compared the performance of UAV and ground methods at different spray volumes, analyzing spray deposition on water sensitive papers, insecticide residues on filter papers, and residues on whole unhulled almonds. Although overall residue levels of chlorantraniliprole insecticide on whole unhulled almonds were similar between UAV and air blast sprayer treatments, there were significant interactions between canopy elevation and spray method, indicating distinct residue patterns. Penetration and spray deposition at the lower canopy were observed and validated for the UAV application.

Harmonization of plant protection products dose expression and dose adjustment for high growing 3D crops: A review

Cruz Garcera et al.

Summary: This review outlines the background and current status of different dose expressions of plant protection products applied in 3D crops grown in orchards, groves, berry plantations, vineyards, or greenhouses. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each dose expression, emphasizes the importance of correcting dose expression based on leaf area density, and highlights the importance of harmonization in the PPP authorization process within the EU.

Assessment of spray deposition, drift and mass balance from unmanned aerial vehicle sprayer using an artificial vineyard

Changling Wang et al.

Summary: This study compared the spraying performance of different commercial UAV types and nozzle types in vineyards, finding that the air-injector flat fan nozzle promoted spray deposition and uniformity and significantly reduced drift compared to the hollow cone nozzle for all tested UAVs, improving the utilization of PPP. The study also identified the 6-rotor UAV as having the best spray performance among the three UAV types tested, with the main reasons being the vortex airflow and the nozzle arrangement.
