Abstract:
The paper presents the preliminary results obtained
when testing some recovery panels of spraying solution, under real
working conditions, in vineyards. The idea of recovering the spraying
solutions is not new in the world, being already used to produce some
spraying equipments with solution recovering, mounted on tractor. The use
of recovery panels resulted in the diminution in losses of spraying solution,
while applying plant and pharmaceutical treatments. We could save thus,
money, by recovering a part of losing solution. Making these recovery
panels was simple, and their utilization did not damage the plants during
the work. The adjustment of the working position of recovery panels was
done easily. In order to increase the amount of recovered solution, the
utilization of some lateral flexible walls, and the increase in panel height
were required. Such equipments have not been yet made in Romania,
although the problem was interesting from the point of view of saving
spraying substances, and, implicitly, money.
