Ground Spray

Functionality & Mechanism

This agricultural simulation tool, developed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, allows for the predictive modeling of pesticide spray applications. The system calculates anticipated spray quality and droplet size spectrum based on a series of user-defined parameters. These inputs include nozzle type, spray angle, orifice size, spray pressure, and the specific solution being applied. Based on these variables, the platform generates a projection of application performance, including an indication of drift potential. The interface also enables users to save or electronically transmit the simulation results for record-keeping or communication.

Intended Use & Scope

Designed for agricultural professionals, including custom applicators and growers, this tool functions as a planning resource for ground-based spray applications. It provides predictive data to inform equipment configuration and operational decisions prior to fieldwork. This app is designed to supplement learning and may be most effective when used alongside formal instruction.
