A Wind-Tunnel Assessment of Parameters That May Impact Spray Drift during UAV Pesticide Application

A Wind-Tunnel Assessment of Parameters That May Impact Spray Drift during UAV Pesticide Application

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of varying wind speeds (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 m/s), initial payload volumes (2 and 10 L), and nozzle droplet size characteristics (fine, medium, coarse) on drift during spray applications from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hovering freely in a...
