SPRAYER ADJUSTMENT METHOD Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01M7/00 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, farm crop spraying process.

SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring consumption of working fluid per minute by one sprayer, standardized consumption of working fluid per one hectare, and speed of spraying unit; taking into account distance between adjacent sprayers on boom of field crop sprayer and consumption of working fluid per minute by one sprayer and determining from formula: q=QVa/600, where q is consumption of working fluid per minute by one sprayer (l/min); Q is standardized consumption of working fluid per hectare (l/hectare); V is speed of spraying unit (km/hour); a is distance between adjacent sprayers (m); determining type of spraying unit and its transmission on the basis of standardized consumption of working fluid per hectare, consumption of liquid fluid per minute by one sprayer, and speed of spraying unit; selecting color, type of sprayer and pressure by international standard and also in accordance with standardized consumption of working fluid per one hectare, consumption of working fluid per one minute by one sprayer, and calibrating measuring reservoir by providing separate sectors, each corresponding to specified standardized consumption of working fluid per one hectare, color and type of sprayer with respective pressure and having horizontal lines at various levels and indications as to sprayer unit types and their respective transmissions.

EFFECT: increased precision in adjustment of sprayer, wider operational capabilities, and reduced labor intensity.
