PROJECT SUMMARY Title: Development of a high pressure chemical delivery system for aerial application platforms PD: Ledebuhr Mark A. Institution:    Application Insight LLC   Aerial application is limited in its productivity by the inability to produce low-drift sprays above certain speeds. Regardless of the nozzle higher airspeeds result in finer droplets and mo ...

Gray mold and powdery mildew can account for as much as 80% of decay in strawberry productionand combined with arthropod pests have a significant impact on yield. Regular application ofpesticides is the traditional solution however increasing resistance regulations and a risingdemand for organic fruit production motivate a need for alternative non-chemical treatmentmethods. USDA ARS scientists dev ...
