These spraying components utilize a venturi principle to draw air into the spray stream, creating larger, air-filled droplets. This technology is primarily implemented in agricultural and horticultural applications to reduce drift. Larger droplets are less susceptible to wind displacement, leading to more precise and targeted application of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. For instance, these components can ensure that chemicals are deposited directly onto the intended crop, minimizing off-target movement.
The employment of this technology offers several advantages. Reduced drift minimizes environmental contamination and safeguards non-target plant life. It also contributes to significant cost savings by ensuring that a higher percentage of the applied product reaches its intended target, thus reducing the need for repeat applications. Historically, advancements in spraying technology have been driven by the need to improve application efficiency and minimize environmental impact, and air induction technology represents a significant step in that direction.
