| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluates the Environmist, a pesticide sprayer that "uses rotary atomiser [atomizer] technology to produce low pressure, low volume application...[and] uses a spinning disc to produce optimum sized, evenly distributed droplets." Presents an experiment comparing the Environmist to "a conventional pedestrian sprayer for herbicide application to control broad-leaved weeds in a golf fairway situation. The herbicide used was Re-act from Scotts, which contains MCPA, mecoprop-P and dicamba." Also mentions testing the Environmist using "Primo Maxx (trinexapac-ethyl) in both a golf green and fairway situation. The golf green had a grass sward consisting of bentgrass, fescue and annual meadow-grass...[and the fairway] was composed of ryegrass, bentgrass, annual meadow-grass and Yorkshire fog." Concludes that "the Environmist allowed application of the products tested in a tenth the water rate of the conventional pedestrian sprayer, allowing effective spraying with the added benefits of reducing the water required and potentially the time take to complete the spraying." |
