Uniform coverage makes the difference
Dense canopies present a significant challenge for every sprayer. Leaves and branches often shield the inner parts of the tree or vine, making it difficult for spray droplets to reach all target surfaces.
The result is familiar to many growers
• the outside of the canopy receives sufficient coverage,
• while the interior remains partially untreated.
These untreated areas can become ideal conditions for disease development, even when the correct product and application rate have been used. A successful final treatment therefore depends on uniform droplet distribution throughout the entire canopy, not simply on the volume of spray mixture applied.
Airflow is just as important as spray volume
Many operators focus primarily on nozzle selection or pressure settings. However, in orchard and vineyard spraying, airflow is often the factor that determines how effectively droplets penetrate the canopy.
A well-balanced air stream:
• carries droplets deep into the canopy,
• improves coverage on both sides of leaves,
• reduces untreated zones,
• minimises excessive spray deposits on the outer canopy.
This not only improves disease control but also increases the efficiency of every litre of spray solution.
Precision instead of higher application rates
Increasing spray volume is not always the answer. Without proper airflow and droplet distribution, additional product often remains on the outer leaves or reaches the ground instead of the target surfaces.
Modern crop protection is increasingly based on application precision rather than application quantity. Better coverage allows growers to make full use of the chosen plant protection product while reducing unnecessary losses.
Designed for uniform application
This is exactly the principle behind the AGP PRO air-blast sprayer range.
Its carefully engineered airflow system is designed to deliver a uniform air distribution across the entire canopy, helping droplets penetrate dense foliage while reducing untreated "dead zones." The balanced air stream improves coverage of both the outer and inner canopy, allowing growers to achieve more consistent protection throughout the orchard or vineyard.
Whether working in vineyards or modern fruit orchards, the goal remains the same: every leaf, every cluster and every fruit should receive the protection it needs.
As harvest approaches, there are no second chances. The quality of the final spray often becomes the quality of the final harvest.
