Optimisation of imaging fluorometer and food safe tracer for crop spray deposit quantification

“农用化学品的喷洒对农业至关重要，准确和安全地喷洒是至关重要的，但到目前为止，喷洒操作员还没有办法快速量化田间喷洒的沉淀量和覆盖率。在2017年9月30日结束的创新英国项目101820中，我们开发了一种新的原型技术，使喷雾操作员能够首次量化目标作物不同部位的喷雾沉积覆盖率和可变性。我们使用该设备对各种作物的商业喷雾应用进行了评估，通常找出不足之处，通过调整喷雾器进行纠正。产生了一些成功的案例研究，证明了新技术的潜力，为种植者带来了立竿见影的好处。然而，该项目也确定了在考虑商业化之前需要解决的一些悬而未决的技术问题。该项目的目的将是解决这些问题，从而降低商业产品未来开发的风险。作为该项目的一部分，知识产权将得到开发和保护，并将完善一个面向国际的开发计划，根据迄今的经验，这可能会在未来几年带来巨大的销售。关键词：作物，喷雾沉积

"Spray application of agrochemicals is essential to agriculture and it is vital that it is performed accurately and safely yet hitherto spray operators have had no means of rapidly quantifying spray deposits and coverage in the field. In Innovate UK project 101820, which ended on 30 Sept 2017, we developed a new prototype technology that enables spray operators, for the first time, to quantify spray deposit coverage and variability on different parts of the target crop. We used the device to evaluate commercial spray applications in a diverse range of crops, commonly identifying deficiencies for correction by sprayer adjustment. A number of successful case studies were generated that demonstrated the potential of the new technology with immediate benefits to growers. However, the project also identified a number of outstanding technical issues that needed to be resolved before commercialization could be considered. The aim of this project will be to resolve these issues and thus de-risk the future development of a commercial product. As part of the project IP will developed and protected and an internationally focussed exploitation plan will be refined, which, based on experience to date, is likely to provide significant sales over the coming years.Keywords: crops, spray deposits"
