Spraying is one of the main agricultural managements aiming at high productivity. It is through it that the control of diseases, pests and weeds is carried out, enabling the best development of the culture.
When carrying out this management, the rural producer needs to be aware of some important factors. It is essential, for example, to avoid drifting during application. Drift occurs when weather conditions interfere with the droplet’s arrival at the target, which harms the health of the plant and the environment, wasting pesticides.
Therefore, it is important to use a spray system that performs applications with ideal pressures, maintaining droplet size uniformity and avoiding drift. An example of this is the Stara Double Line System, which allows applications to be carried out with a greater range of working speed, increasing operational performance without impairing drop quality.
Another factor that deserves attention is the product overlap, which occurs when the spraying reaches a place where the mixture has already been applied, causing waste and potentially impairing the plant’s ability to develop.
To avoid this situation, technologies such as the Nozzle to Nozzle System help rural producers, as they automatically turn off the spray nozzle when the controller identifies an area where the spray has already been applied. With this differential, the rural producer avoids overlapping and provides a more precise and efficient application, with savings of up to 5% in pesticides.
In sprayers with central bars, the advantages of these technological differentials are even more evident, since the central bars guarantee 58% more product on the target.
To obtain the maximum performance from these technologies and a safe and efficient application, it is essential that the operator performs the correct calibration of the system. Remote access services, such as Conecta, for example, facilitate the calibration work.
Stara’s self-propelled sprayers have all these technologies and many other differentials to ensure the best efficiency in your farming.
