Item Application rate and hydraulic tips used in remotely piloted aircraft affect the phytosanitary products in coffee plant canopies(Editora da Universidade Estadual de Maringá - EDUEM, 2024-03-01) Alvarenga, Cleyton Batista de; Zampiróli, Renan; Cunha, João Paulo Arantes Rodrigues da; Rinaldi, Paula Cristina Natalino; Cunha, Bruno Amâncio da; Faria, Layanara OliveiraMost coffee (Coffea arabica) phytosanitary management techniques are performed using ground-based equipment, and remotely piloted aircraft are a recent alternative. Therefore, this study evaluates the effect of different application rates and hydraulic tips used for spreading phytosanitary products on coffee crops using a remotely piloted aircraft, assisted by artificial targets and dye tracing. The experiment was a 4 × 3 factorial randomized block design with four tips (XR 110-01, TT 110-01, AIXR 110-015, and TTJ60 110-02) and three application rates (8, 12, and 16 L ha-1). Hydrosensitive paper was used to analyze the droplet spectrum, and the Brilliant Blue tracer was used to detect spray deposition. The DJI Agras T20 remotely piloted aircraft was used to apply the phytosanitary product. Speed, flight height, and application range were maintained at 5.56 m s-1, 2 m, and 5 m, respectively. The flight direction was perpendicular to the crop planting lines. The application rate and hydraulic tip jointly controlled the accumulation of droplets on the target according to its position in the plant canopy. Therefore, remotely piloted aircraft can be used in coffee phytosanitary management, particularly to control targets that predominately occur in the upper third of the plant canopy.Item Spray deposition from an unmanned aerial vehicle on a coffee crop(Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola, 2024-11-29) Cunha, João P. A. R. da; Fonseca, Luciano F. da; Alvarenga, Cleyton B. de; Lopes, Luana de L.; Martins Filho, Rogério M. S.The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to apply pesticides has grown significantly, but technical data to support improvements in application efficiency are lacking, especially for perennial crops. This study aimed to determine the best operational parameters for the application of pesticides to coffee plants using UAVs. The experiment consisted of 8 treatments and 4 replicates in a 2x2x2 factorial design: two spray mixture compositions (solutions with spreading adjuvant and mineral oil), two spray nozzles (XR flat-fan nozzle and Airmix flat-fan nozzle with air induction) and two spray volumes (10 and 20 L ha-1). Spray solution deposition was evaluated by spectrophotometric detection of a tracer in leaves from the upper and lower parts of the coffee canopy, and spray coverage, droplet density and droplet size were evaluated using water-sensitive paper. The surface tension, pH and electrical conductivity of the solutions were also evaluated. The air induction nozzle was more suitable than the standard nozzle for UAV application, as the former yielded greater deposition of spray solution. Mineral oil improved the spray deposition on the coffee leaves, although the spreader reduced the surface tension to a greater extent. The higher spray volume increased the droplet density, as well as the coverage, which is very relevant, especially whit contact pesticides.
