“…Besides the mechanized equipment considered in this study, future research may expand the list of mechanization strategies and examine the economic feasibility of investing in tunnel sprayers that recycle unused pesticides (Ade et al 2007), autonomous weeding robots (McAllister et al 2019), or robots programmed to control wine-grape diseases with ultraviolet light (Gadoury 2019). Future studies may also focus on other fruit orchards and examine the economic feasibility of investing in intelligent sprayers vs. conventionally adopted mechanized equipment.…”

Increasing labor and input costs have driven wine grape (Vitis vinifera) growers’ attention to mechanized equipment to assist in vineyard operations. This study evaluates the financial feasibility of investing in vineyard mechanization, in addition to the released intelligent sprayer in hypothetical wine grape vineyards of varying sizes. Our comparative analysis illustrates how mechanization of vineyard practices affects costs and financial metrics. We conducted a cost–benefit analysis for seven investment scenarios and examined the economic performance of four metrics. Our findings suggest that investing in a mechanized trimmer is most effective for growers exposed to labor shortages and high wages. A retrofitted intelligent sprayer is superior for reducing input use and associated costs.

“…To address the problems of low pesticide utilization, Jianli et al [50,51] designed and tested the performance of a "Π" type sprayer, and the results show that staggered spraying on both sides of the spray bar could improve the pesticides recovery rate by 44.0% and reduce the amount of ground drift within the drift distance by 99.3% compared with a conventional orchard air-assisted sprayer. Furthermore, Ade et al [52,53] developed the "Π" type sprayer and showed that it consumed less pesticides and had significantly lower drift than the conventional sprayer. Moreover, Jamar et al [54] and Soriano et al [55] compared droplet deposition in orchards under a recirculating spray system, a conventional hydraulic spray system, and a conventional air-assisted spray system and found that the recirculating spray system could effectively reduce the amount of drift compared to other spray systems.…”

In orchard plant protection application, an anti-drift strategy can effectively reduce drift in the non-target area, reduce spray drift in the environment, and avoid spray leakage and overspraying. To clarify the future development direction of orchard plant protection mechanization technology, this review introduces the development status of an anti-drift spray nozzle and the impact of different types of spray nozzles on the potential of drift, and then, it analyzes the research progress on air-assisted spraying, recycling spraying, profiling spraying, target variable spraying technologies, and plant protection UAVs. It also provides a general analysis of the above spraying technologies on the amount of drift and the impact of pesticide deposition. Finally, combined with the characteristics of orchard plant protection, the paper presents the research and development of anti-drift nozzles, pesticide adjuvant, air-assisted spraying technology, electrostatic, recycling spraying technology, profiling and target variable spraying technology, and plant protection UAVs. The review provides a reference for the development of an anti-drift strategy for orchard plant protection production.

“…However, guava crops require a lot of pesticide applications to control the pest infestation and disease occurrences. The degree of crop protection from insect pest depends on effective insecticide application of any spraying system, but the performance of these spraying system in term of spray deposition, penetration of spray droplets and pesticide application rates is significantly affected with morphology of the crops as reported (Ade et al 2007;Singh et al, 2022). Various spraying techniques, such as air blast, vertical boom, tunnel spraying, etc., are being used in orchard crops.…”

“…Various spraying techniques, such as air blast, vertical boom, tunnel spraying, etc., are being used in orchard crops. However, the performance of these sprayers was improved by testing them with different aspects of air assistance and spray quality as per reported by various researchers (Pergher & Petris, 2009;Celen et al, 2009;Pezzi & Rondelli, 2000;Cross et al, 2003;Molari et al, 2005;Panneton et al,2005;Pergher, 2005;Pergher, 2006;Pergher & Petris, 2008;Ade et al, 2007;Jamar et al, 2010). However, in the spraying systems, appropriate setting of various parameters like nozzle to nozzle 2 Environment Conservation Journal spacing, nozzle orientation, operating pressure, airjet orientation, air assistance, tunnel shield height, shield width as per existing morphology characteristics of the orchard crop effect the level of spray efficacy and efficiency of these sprayer.…”

The morphological attributes play a significant role in determining the level of applied insecticide by the existing spraying system. Therefore, this attempt was made to assess the various morphological attributes of guava tree such as leaf size, leaf area, leaf area index (LAI) and leaf area density (LAD). In this study, two leaf area estimation techniques (grid count method and Image processing technique based on ImageJ software) were compared and also estimate LAI and LAD for ten trees. An average leaf area was registered 29.56 cm2 and R2 value (0.98) for predicting leaf area by image processing technique. The LAI and LAD varied from 0.69 to 2.17 m2/m2 and 0.53 to 1.89 m2/m3, respectively. In addition, minimum and maximum LAD (mean ± SD) for zone wise ranged from 0.07 ± 0.06 m2/m3 to 2.73 ± 1.43 m2/m3, respectively. The study findings provide an opportunity to deal with large volume of leafs for leaf area estimation and would also help in design of various sprayers like determining the dimensions of tunnel sprayer and allow them to test in laboratory conditions with simulated artificial tree.
