Test Results
Location: Farm ground site
Date: 20th February 2025
Testing Staff: Alex-Macdonald-Smith, Jack Wrangham
Environmental Assessment
Weather in general: Dry and windy
Wind Speed: High
Temperature: 10 deg c
Ground Test
Adjuvant was mixed at 1 litre to 15 litres of water, 16L total loaded into drone spray tank
Spray system was initiated and cleared of air allowing both nozzles to operate
Spray test was initiated, beginning with the most coarse droplet setting (500 um)
Spray test was then conducted at each droplet setting down to the finest setting (50 um)
Consistent flow was observed at all droplet settings
Even spray distribution was observed at all droplet settings
No signs of blockage were observed at all droplet settings
After spray test, filters did not appear clogged
Minor residue was observed in tank filter, easily washed out
After washdown and rinse through, clear water came through the system with no signs of blockage or residue
Once the system was emptied of water, tank filters were checked with no signs of blockage or residue
