Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

We developed two tractor-mounted spraying systems which utilize compressed air for dispensing the spray. The nursery sprayer consists of a spraying platform, two windshields, and two hand booms, and was developed to spray brush up to 6 ft tall. A field sprayer was developed to spray brush up to 15 ft tall. This sprayer has two 20-ft booms, mounted on a modified front end loader which could be rotated hydraulically to either side of the tractor.
