Abstract

Increasingly, Flemish greenhouse growers use spray booms instead of spray guns to apply PPPs (Goossens et al., 2004). In spite of important advantages, e.g. a more uniform spray liquid distribution (Nuyttens et al., 2004) and a reduction in operator exposure (Nuyttens et al., 2009), many questions remain concerning their optimal settings (Braekman & Sonck, 2007).
The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of spray application technique on the spray deposition in strawberries grown on beds in greenhouses and in particular the effect of nozzle type, size and spray pressure and the difference between the traditional spray gun and vertical spray booms (Braekman et al., 2009).
