  • Page 31 In this case 0.6 litres pesticide would have to be mixed with 600 litres water to make up the spray solution. However, in low-volume mistblowing only one quarter of the water quantity is required for the same amount of pesticide. This means that the concentration used is four times higher than for high-pressure spraying.

Measuring the distance is better than Before starting work it is necessary to determine the follow- counting the number of steps. Dividing the distance in ing points, which affect the liquid discharge rate per unit meters by the time in minutes produces the walking speed area and thus the distribution of active ingredient in the...
  • Page 33 They are based on a walking speed of 60 m/min. when the upward angle of the spray tube is increased, e. g. mistblowing high trees. STIHL recommends the use of a pressure pump (special accessory) for applications which require the spray tube to be held at an upward angle of more than 30°.
