Abstract
To realize the online evaluation of spray quality, an online measuring system for spray coverage and deposition quality is developed. The measuring theory of spray coverage and deposition quality on an LWS (leaf wetness sensor) surface is analyzed. When the spray conditions are constant, there is a linear correlation between the spray coverage on the sensor surface, the spray deposition quality and the LWS output voltage increment. The results of calibration experiments show that when the spray conditions are constant, the coefficient of determination R2 of the regression curves between the sensor output voltage increment and the spray coverage on the sensor surface is more than 0.75, and the coefficient of determination R2 of the regression curves between the sensor output voltage increment and the spray deposition quality on the sensor surface is more than 0.90. Based on ZigBee wireless sensor technology, this paper reports an online measuring system for spray coverage and deposition quality at multiple points in the field. The test results show that the online measuring system has good uniformity. Field test results show that the LWS voltage increment and the coverage rate of water-sensitive paper have a good correlation, and the measuring results of the spray deposition quality trend are in good agreement. The fit of the spray deposition quality curves measured by the two methods was 0.8924. The research results in this paper can provide a reference for using LWS sensors to measure spray coverage and deposition quality.
