The water sensitive paper is commonly used in the uniformity and distribution ratings of the spray droplets pattern; however, this technology still has a high cost. In this way, the present work had as objective to evaluate the quality of deposition of spray drops in different types of papers sensitive to water. The test was carried out in a wind tunnel built inside the multi-sport gymnasium of the State University of West Paraná-campus of Cascavel-PR. A semi-automated nozzle transition prototype was used to perform the tests. The variables evaluated were number of diameters, dispersion, volumetric medium diameter (VMD), droplet density, cover and droplet volume. The treatments consisted of four different types of paper compared to the water sensitive paper (control), and two nozzles. Cardboard paper stood out among the others at the cost of approximately 1% of a water-sensitive paper slip. The water sensitive paper used in agriculture can be replaced by alternative papers more economically viable and easily found in the market.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
