TI  - Comparison of a new air-assisted sprayer and two conventional sprayers in terms 
      of deposition, loss to the soil and residue of azoxystrobin and tebuconazole 
      applied to sunlit greenhouse tomato and field cucumber.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Plant protection products (PPPs) are applied in China and many other 
      developing countries with knapsack sprayers at high volumes with coarse spray 
      quality, resulting in a high percentage of pesticide losses. In this study, a new 
      air-assisted electric knapsack sprayer and two conventional knapsack sprayers 
      were evaluated in terms of pesticide deposition, residues and loss into the soil. 
      Artificial targets fixed to the upper side and underside of the leaf surface in 
      six zones (at two depths and three heights) were used to collect the deposition, 
      which were analyzed by liquid chromatography triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. 
      RESULTS: The air-assisted electric knapsack sprayer produced more deposition and 
      better penetrability and uniformity than the two traditional spraying methods. In 
      particular, the air-assisted electric knapsack sprayer reduced pesticide losses 
      to the soil by roughly 37% to 75% and deposited 1.18 and 1.24 times more 
      pesticide than the manual air-pressure and battery-powered knapsack sprayers, 
      respectively. The residues of azoxystrobin and tebuconazole in tomato and 
      cucumber were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs). CONCLUSION: In general, 
      use of the the air-assisted electric knapsack sprayer in tomato and cucumber 
      crops could improve the effectiveness of PPPs, reduce the risk of contamination 
      and protect food safety. (c) 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
