“…The crossflow sprayer produced a peak at mid height of the canopy that is not present for the axial sprayer. We did observe only a small deposition peak on a patternator wall in indoor trials (Dekeyser et al, 2013) at 1.5 m height, while for the rest the vertical spray profile in this zone was relatively uniform for the cross flow sprayer. The deposition on a static uniform patternator wall, therefore, does not completely resemble the actual deposition process in real canopies, where differences in the vertical deposition are much more pronounced.…”

“…The crossflow sprayer gave a higher deposition than the axial sprayer for the training systems can, however, be adapted to improve uniformity, by adjusting the spout angles, as we have shown in previous work (Dekeyser et al, 2013). This could be important when targeting specific pests such as codling moth, which are mostly observed in the upper part of the tree crown (Losel et al, 2002;Simon et al, 2007).…”
