Abstract

Tthis research was conducted with the aim of evaluating of two common spraying methods for Brevicoryne brassicae control during stemming stage and to introduce a more suitable method according to the technical parameters affecting the performance and efficiacy of spraying. The test was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design in three treatments and three replications based on the obtained results, for the tractor-mounted boom sprayer and tractor-mounted lance sprayer, the amount of consumed volume was 179 and 279 L/ha, respectively, the effective field capacity was 5.0 and 0.8 ha/hr, respectively, the field efficiency was 56.8% and 55.5%, respectively, the crop damage area obtained 3.85% and 4.45%, respectively, the spray quality coefficient was 1.96% and 3.31%, respectively, and the average drift was 21.0% and 35.7%. Also, there was no significant difference between the two sprayers in 3 and 7 days after spraying. However, 14 days after spraying, there was a significant difference between the treatments, and the spraying efficacy of the boom sprayer reached 83% and 41% for the lance sprayer. Considering the better results of the tractor-mounted boom sprayer and its greater spraying efficiency than the tractor-mounted lance sprayer, this method is recommended to control pests during the canola stemming stage.
