Collaborative project: Optimizing of spray boom dynamics - Subproject 2
Project
Project code: 2815405410
Contract period: 01.02.2012
- 31.01.2015
Budget: 107,356 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The aim of the project is to optimise techniques fort he application of plant protection products in order to obtain a reduction of chemicals. This shall be obtained by developing improved spray booms for field sprayers and the improvement of spray boom suspensions. This shall reduce unintended boom movements and hence improve the spray distribution quality. A specific test method shall be developed for the evaluation of spray booms. The parts of the project dealing with design and development of a new spray boom including the optimisation of their dynamic behaviour and the evaluation of spray boom function require several professional competences. The partners with technical and testing backgrounds cover the research and development parts thanks their experiences in design as well as in evaluation of sprayers, especially with regard to spray boom dynamics and the resulting spray distribution.
