DULUTH, GA-AGCO.Corporation（纽约证券交易所代码：AGCO）是农业机械和解决方案设计，制造和分配的全球领导者，发布了其应用作物旅游调查结果的最新更新。AGCO作物护理团队设计为今年的AGCO应用作物巡演，以显示几种最佳实践，以最大限度地提高杂草控制计划的有效性。
“When it comes to controlling weeds, there’s this battle going on between productivity, efficacy and drift control,” says Darren Goebel, AGCO director of Global Agronomy and Farm Solutions. “Growers want to get over as many acres as they can without having to stop and refill the sprayer. But with today’s contact herbicides, they need to get good coverage while also ensuring that the product they’re spraying reaches its intended target.”
Proper sprayer set-up is key to achieving desired weed-control results.
使用Libertylink的演示文字®作物 - 伊利诺伊州格鲁吉亚和大豆棉 - AGCO团队检查了地速，喷雾喷嘴，液滴尺寸，载体体积和喷雾剂臂高度的影响。
应用时序对于杂草控制效能至关重要
杰森·李，AGCO农学家和农场解决方案专家，说，无论治疗如何，伊利诺伊州地块最大的外卖是杂草控制时机的重要性。因为情节没有初步体验多种杂草压力，所以农艺学家等待更多的杂草出现，这允许一些麻烦的水掌厂变得非常大。
“The problem with waiting for a full flush of weeds before spraying is that some weeds will get way too big and really hard to control,” Lee explains, adding that applicators should read and follow all product label instructions. “We should control weeds when they’re small: four inches or less in height.”
Speed isn’t a factor when rate and droplet size are correctly maintained
AGCO队适用于自由®除草剂以5至15英里/小时的速度，载体量为每英亩10至20加仑。喷雾喷嘴从中培养到极粗糙的各种尺寸的液滴也得到了评估。
“From what we saw, as long as we were using the appropriate nozzle to give us the correct droplet size for the speed we were running, we’d get the right coverage,” Goebel says. “We thought maybe there would be a bigger effect due to speed, but we really didn’t see any issues as long as we were doing everything else right.”
覆盖范围是喷涂接触除草剂时的关键考虑因素
With weed-control products such as Liberty, which is a contact herbicide, getting adequate coverage is the most important factor, Goebel says. Achieving proper coverage will vary based on sprayer nozzle type and carrier volume.
在较低的载体量，例如每英亩10加仑，使用产生较小液滴的喷嘴将有助于改善控制。“然而，较小的液滴尺寸增加了漂移的风险。更高的载体量提供更好的覆盖范围，但需要更多的坦克填充。他补充说，申请人需要在生产力效率和漂移之间进行平衡。
Based on what he observed in the Georgia cotton plots, Goebel recommends applying at least 15 gallons of carrier volume per acre, using nozzles that produce a coarse droplet. “If you’re going to use nozzles that produce larger droplets, you really should bump the water up some more to ensure you’re getting good coverage,” he says.
无论发生施用发生的速度，都有助于确保施加器保持恒压，速率和液滴尺寸的喷雾器。
Use the correct boom height to increase coverage
AGCO团队评估的另一个应用因素是繁荣高度。Goebel说，不正确的身高的覆盖障碍可能是严重的。该团队将覆盖率和杂草控制进行了覆盖率和杂草控制，在目标上方的20英寸和60英寸上方有60英寸。
“繁荣经常设置得太高，因为涂抹器不希望他们意外地击中地面。But if you’re spraying four to five feet from the target, you’re not going to get proper coverage, and you’ll also likely get more drift,” he says, noting that boom-height control systems take the guesswork out of setting heights. “Ideally, for 110-degree spray angles, your boom height above the target should equal your nozzle spacing. So, if your nozzles are 20 inches apart, your boom should be approximately 20 inches above the target. At 60 inches, we only achieved about 30% control. The spray simply didn’t make it to the target due to a combination of drift and evaporation.”
“如果你想克服很多英亩快ly on a hot, sunny afternoon, boom height is really going to have a big impact,” he concludes. “These products need to be applied well, and having a good understanding of application equipment setup is the first step in ensuring an effective weed-control program.”
