Plant protection covers all the processes regarding the yield loss
due to weeds, diseases and pests. Pest control is one of the most
preferred plant protection methods which is due to easy to apply
and has a high speed of effect. The selection of the spraying unit
that carries the pesticide to the target in the pest control plays
an important role in the success of the application. However, the
adsorption ratio of the pesticide on targets have varies
according to the sprayer, the application norm, the interaction
between the plant and the environment. In recent years, the
production systems in which human and environment have
been protected in agriculture, and the safe and controlled use of
plant protection machinery has started to gain importance. The
aim of this study is to determine the projection coefficients of
the machinery technology used in plant protection processes in
Kayseri province, Central Anatolia Region and Turkey,
depending on between the years of 2009-2018 usage quantities.
As a result, the projection coefficients of Kayseri province were
determined as 1.46% for atomizer, 3.36% for pto-driven
pulverizator, -0.21% for motorized pulverizator, 2.11% for back
sprayer, 0.93% for mechanical duster and -3.33% for combined
atomizer.
