Motorised mistblower for ultra-low volume spraying (airblast)
2022Also available in:
The desert locust is one of the most dangerous insect pests worldwide, causing major damage to agricultural crops and natural pastures. Control operations rely on air and ground spraying of different compounds as the main technique to contain desert locusts. It is essential that locust field officers are familiar with all aspects related to sprayers used against desert locusts. The AU8000 sprayer consists of a Micronair AU8000 sprayhead (atomiser) mounted on a knapsack mist blower. The sprayhead provides a narrow, easily controlled spectrum of spray droplets to ensure an even product distribution with a minimum of wastage. Air from the mist blower rotates the atomiser and is then directed into the airstream, which carries the spray safely away from the operator and ensures maximum swath width and penetration of foliage. This field guide aims to contribute to the efficiency, efficacy and promotion of best practices whilst using and maintaining the sprayers.
