Abstract (es)

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of three hollow cone nozzles (TeeJet® TX 800050 VK, TeeJet® TXA 8004 VK and TX-Royal Condor®) and one flat fan nozzle (TeeJet® XR 8004 VS) with two manual application techniques on a crop of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). In order to assess the quality ofthe application of pesticides, WSP (water sensitive paper) collectors and fluorescent tracer Tinopal® CBS-X were used. In one ofthe trials, percentage of tracer retained by the leaf surfaces was also determined. In this study, and based on the methodology of collectors, it was observed that the technique of applying two passes with the TX-Royal Condor® nozzle could be recommended for the application of pesticides with a hand-operated sprayer in the spinach crop. However, this was not corroborated by the fluorescent tracer technique.

En esta investigación se evaluaron tres boquillas de cono hueco (TeeJet® TX 800050 VK, TeeJet® TXA 8004 VK y TX-Royal Cóndor®) y una boquilla de abanico plano (TeeJet® XR 8004 VS), con dos técnicas de aplicación con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de aplicación de plaguicidas que se realiza en los cultivos de espinaca (Spinacia oleracea L.). Se realizaron dos ensayos de campo y se emplearon dos técnicas de evaluación de las aplicaciones: El método de los colectores de papel hidro-sensible y el método del trazador fluorescente con Tinopal® CBS-X, el cual se usó para determinar los depósitos de trazador sobre las hojas en uno de los ensayos. En este estudio, y con base en la metodología de colectores se observó que la técnica de aplicación de dos pases con la boquilla TX-Royal Cóndor® podría recomendarse para la aplicación de plaguicidas con una pulverizadora de accionamiento manual en el cultivo de la espinaca. Sin embargo, esto no fue corroborado con la técnica del trazador fluorescente.
