Abstract
Numerous researchers have attempted to understand the orchard spray application
process via field experiments. The use of an artificial canopy allows researchers to conduct spray experiments in a defined uniform canopy, allowing a substantial reduction of experimental area and the possibility to perform the test indoor under controlled climate conditions. Additionally, these trees are easier to characterise and to be used in CFD modelling (Dekeyser et al., 2012). The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of spray application technique on spray deposits and coverage and their distributions on artificial pear trees, ground deposits and spray losses behind the tree.
