Abstract
Pesticides are toxic chemicals designed to control certain pests, diseases or weeds.
They can easily contaminate the air, ground, water sources, wild animals, birds and aquatic life
when they run-off from fields. For these aspects the application of pesticide must be done
accurately. One of the most important factors that affecting the success of application is choosing
the right equipment. New technologies on sensor and image analyzing process promoted the
success of application technique. Besides electrostatic spraying is a new trend to apply pesticides
with less drift potential. In recent years electrostatic spraying has been used in many other
applications such as painting, ink printing etc. Researches have indicated electrostatic spraying
achieves better coverage of difficult targets than conventional spraying. Water consumption of that
kind of sprayers is up to 10 times less than conventional spraying. On the other hand this method
has some difficulties and disadvantages. In this study, electrostatic spraying in agricultural
application was evaluated. Tractor mounted and mobile knapsack electrostatic sprayers were
explained and some experimental results of them were discussed.
