The most important application questions concerning sprayers with cross-flow technology:

1. #1 Which speeds are to be set?
2. #2 Which quantity of oil is required?
3. #3 How do I adjust the sprayer optimally?
4. #4 Is it possible to treat neighbouring lines?
5. #5 How fast can you drive?
6. #6 Which nozzles should be used?
7. #7 How is the application rate calculated?

   The application rate doubles exactly when the operating pressure quadruples and depends linearly on all other spraying parameters:

   

   • p = Operating pressure in bar (quadratic relationship)
   • p_ref = Reference operating pressure in bar (quadratic relationship)
   • Q_ref = Reference flow rate in l/min (depending on nozzle type and number) at reference operating pressure p_ref (linear relationship)

   • v = Travel speed in km/h (linear)
   • F = Application rate in l/ha (linear)
   • R = Row width in m (linear)
