Air-Assisted Electrostatic Sprayer (AAESS)

Electrostatic force field has been exploited in the design and development of an air-assisted electrostatic nozzle for agricultural applications to increase the mass transfer efficiency, pesticide bio-efficacy, uniform deposition, maximum canopy coverage and liquid pest to reach the hidden areas and underside of the target by reducing the drift of active ingredients of pesticides from the target microorganism. Electrostatic spraying technology offers a very favorable approach to increase pesticide droplet deposition onto biological surfaces of crops and orchards with two-fold of mass-transfer efficiency of active ingredients of pesticides.

A new air-assisted electrostatic nozzle has been designed and developed for small scale farms with a specific focus on Indian agricultural and rural developing economies. This nozzle is light weight, highly efficient, reduces pesticide use and human health risks, and eco-friendly. An air-assisted electrostatic nozzle is a blend of an air-assisted nozzle and induction based electrostatic charging system.
