Effect of Spray Amplitude and Volume of Six Rotor UAV in Filling Stage on Droplet Deposition Distribution and Drift Characteristics in Maize Population
Dji T30 UAV was used to spray maize during the filling period,and the influence of spray width and spray liquid quantity on the deposition distribution of droplets in the population was discussed.Using a two-factor experimental design,three spray ranges[4(G1),5(G2),6.5 m(G3)]and five spray volumes[15-75 L/ha(R1-R5)]were set,and the maize population was divided into five layers(A-E)from top to bottom.The results showed that,Under the treatment combination of different spray amplitudes and spray volume,the total deposition amount,coverage rate and coverage density of fog drops increased significantly with the increase of spray volume,and showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of spray amplitude.The total deposition amount of G2R5,G3R5 and G1R5 was large,but it led to the increase of ground loss of fog drops,poor uniformity and penetration of deposition volume,and aggravated drift of fog drops.In general,the distribution of droplets deposition in each leaf layer under the spray amplitude of G2 is superior.However,the selection of spray quantity should not be too large in actual production.The appropriate spray liquid amount should be scientifically determined during UAV operation,combined with the functional properties of spraying agents and farmland environment and other factors.
