Deposição e deriva de calda fungicida aplicada em feijoeiro, em função de bico de pulverização e de volume de calda Deposition and drift of fungicide application in a bean crop inf... by João P. A. R. da Cunha, Mauri M. Teixeira, Rogério F. Vieira, Haroldo C. Fernandes

“…The fungicide, with the tracer was applied three times, using a CO2 - pressurized sprayer. The results allowed the following conclusions: the flat fan and hollow cone nozzles provided similar cover of the bean leaves, both in the superior and the inferior position of the crop; the application volume of 250 L ha-1 provided higher retention of fungicide in the leaves and higher uniformity of coverage of the plants than the volume of 125 L ha-1; the droplets formed in the application with hollow cone nozzles were more favorable to the drift than the ones produced with flat fan nozzles, specially when low application volume was used; and the applications, in general, provided low deposition uniformity and high drift potential.…”
