    • Low pressure employed on the field nozzles used in field crop sprayers, varies between 3 and 8 x 105 N/m2. Where as the same for high pressure orchard sprayers works out to be 3 to 5 times that of the above values.
      The hose should be durable, light and flexible and must be able to withstand the maximum pressure developed in the sprayer mostly rubber of plastic house it used A hose having on inside diameter of 9 timer is advantage when the discharge rate does not exceed 9 liters per minute.
      2.11.3    Types of Nozzles
          Tee pet nozzle
          Foam
          Combination fog
          Smooth bore
          Master stream
          Specialty
          Double hollow com nozzle
          Fixed orifice
          Single shot off
          Assault nozzle
      2.11.4    Factors that affect sprayer performance
      The following factors directly affect the performance of a sprayer
          Pressure and delivery of the pump
          Speed of forward travel
          Water-supply ratio in tax
          Height of the boom
          Operator skill
          Direction of wind
           Nozzle spacing and size
          period of application
      These factors indirectly affect the following
          Application rate
          Droplet size
          Droplet distribution

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONEINTRODUCTION1.1    Background to the study Sprayers are devices that are specially designed to spray liquid quickly and easily. They come in a number of different varieties. A sprayer is used to cover large area such as lawns quickly and easily. A boom sprayer of this type is typically used for spraying chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.Along with proper plant selection and cure, controlling pests in lawn or garden is an important par ...

      CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE(REGULATOR); This is a device or mechanism that maintain any pre-set pressure by by-passing some of the liquid back to the tank i.e it serves as safety device in automatically unloading the excessive pressure. (It is a means of adjusting the pressure as required for the job).PRESSURE GUAGE; This is a component pant of the sprayer that always indicate the actual pressure at which the sprayer is working. If properly calibrated, it provides guide to the operator in ... Continue reading---
