Hand held imaging fluorometer for measuring and optimising spray deposits

将开发一种手持式设备，用于测量作物上的喷雾沉积，以便由田间喷雾操作员快速量化。这将使喷雾操作员能够确定和优化喷雾器的性能，例如根据作物结构，生长和天气条件，以及质量保证喷雾应用和检查脱靶污染。最佳实践喷雾应用的喷雾沉积物将在不同生长阶段的英国园艺作物的广泛范围内进行基准测试。商业机会是：1)将该设备销售给英国乃至全球的喷雾操作员、顾问和研究人员的大众市场；2)为项目中的英国生产商和营销组织合作伙伴以及其种植者成员是英国领先的园艺生产商提高喷雾器的性能。他们将为喷洒英国园艺作物制定最佳实践的新标准，这项新技术将很容易在整个农业和园艺中转移。

A hand held device that measures spray deposits on crops so that they can be rapidly quantified by spray operators in the field will be developed. This will enable spray operators to determine and optimise sprayer performance e.g. according to crop structure, growth and weather conditions, as well as quality assure spray applications and check for off-target contamination. Spray deposits from best practice spray applications will be benchmarked in a wide range of UK horticultural crops at different growth stages. Business opportunities are 1) sales of the device to the mass market of spray operators, consultants and researchers in the UK then worldwide 2) improving sprayer performance for the UK producer and marketing organisation partners in the project and whose grower members are leading UK horticultural producers. They will set new standards of best practice for spraying UK horticultural crops, and this new technology will readily transfer throughout agriculture and horticulture.
