Viper Machinery held a demonstration of the 'Airblast' sprayer at Jim Foster's farm on Lakes Road recently. The octopus-like machine has many advantages over the conventional sprayers. Chemicals being applied to plants are carried in a high speed airstream from a series of nozzles at an angle to the ground. This ensures that both sides of the leaves are covered by the chemicals as the leaves are blown about by the turbulence — conventional application usially deposits chemicals on the upper surfaces of foliage only.
