Study on Deposition Characteristics of the Electrostatic Sprayer for Pesticide Application in Greenhouse Tomato Crops by Zhanhong Guo, Jiajia Zhang, Lining Chen, Zhaoyang Wang, Hongbiao Wang, Xufeng Wang

“…The results indicate that: (1) The factors influencing droplet adherence on the upper surface of tomato leaves ranked in the order of target distance, spray pressure, and electrostatic voltage, while for the underside, the order was electrostatic voltage, target distance, and spray pressure. (2) Under the conditions of electrostatic voltage of 10 kV, spray pressure of 0.7 MPa, and target distance of 35 cm, the sprayer achieves the optimal operation of leaf comprehensive coverage. (3) Compared to non-electrostatic spraying, the greenhouse electrostatic sprayer significantly improved the coverage on both sides of the leaves, enhancing pesticide utilization efficiency. …”
