Preliminary tests, under real working conditions, of the recovery panels for spraying solution, mounted on V-445 tractor

Abstract

The paper presents the preliminary results obtained when testing some recovery panels of spraying solution, under real working conditions, in vineyards. The idea of recovering the spraying solutions is not new in the world, being already used to produce some spraying equipments with solution recovering, mounted on tractor. The use of recovery panels resulted in the diminution in losses of spraying solution, while applying plant and pharmaceutical treatments. We could save thus, money, by recovering a part of losing solution. Making these recovery panels was simple, and their utilization did not damage the plants during the work. The adjustment of the working position of recovery panels was done easily. In order to increase the amount of recovered solution, the utilization of some lateral flexible walls, and the increase in panel height were required. Such equipments have not been yet made in Romania, although the problem was interesting from the point of view of saving spraying substances, and, implicitly, money.
