Research on the wear and reliability of machines for combating diseases and pests in vineyards

Abstract

The HERBST ED-900 stand functioning isbased on the liquid collection on each nozzle of the herbicide sprayer in vineyards and orchards by means of collectors that are mounted on each nozzle of the machine. Usingthis stand one can test sprayers for vineyards and orchards with 10 nozzles each, on a ramp. After the measurements made on the herbicide sprayer in vineyards and orchards, the liquid quantities collected in each cylinder are partially transmitted to the computer through the wireless system and are stored in a data basis. From here they may be either accessed as absolute values and sent in a text file, or a graph of the distribution variation may immediatelly be visualized.
