An experiment was conducted to examine the efficacy of spray vaccination against Newcastle disease (ND). Four different coarse sprayers and four different diluents were compared in particle size, immune response and respiratory reaction. The smaller particle size of sprayer was, the better efficacy was and the more respiratory reactions were appeared. Of four diluents, antibody responses and resistance to challenge were higher with skim milk and gelatin, respectively .When day-old broiler chicks with maternal antibodies were vaccinated by coarse. sprayer B with B$_1$strain diluted in 1% skim milk, they showed 100% protection at two weeks of age and 50% from 4 to 8 weeks of age. Another group which boostered at 2 weeks of age by drinking water vaccination showed 100%, 70%, 50%, 40% protection at 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks of age, respectively. Although spray vaccination against ND in this experiments showed similar efficacy, compared to conventional methods, this method may not be appropriate in our field condition because of respiratory vaccinal reaction.

In hot rolling process at steel plant, cooling of the rolled strip at the exit of the rolling mill is one of the most important processes that would decide the quality of products. To guarantee the thermal equity over the strip, the device called an edge-masking unit is being used. That is installed between the strip and the sprayers to cover the side edge of the strip from spraying water. The accuracy of positioning the bracket is the key to this operation. A machine vision technique can be applied to measure the position of the side edges before an as-rolled strip enters into the cooling facility to rectify the error of preset position of the bracket. This paper shows the simulation result of applying the machine vision technique to measuring the position of a strip and suggests the solution for the target.

Chemical application is one of the most important field operation in rice production . Rolling of a boom due to local unevenness and softness in fields causes a local under/over-application of spray. This study was conducted to develop a control system for balancing a boom. A boom mounting mechanism was modfied and a control algorithm was developed in the study. The results for testing the performance of the control system showed that the system could balance the boom in flat and inclined fields. This research can contribute to improve spraying uniformity in applying agricultural chemicals with a boom sprayers.

This study was conducted to compare of the pesticide residue amounts in fruit trees applied by different sprayers and spray volumes. Apple tree was used as a sample tree, and speed sprayer, power sprayer and knapsack motorized sprayer were tested. For similar sprayer and spray volume, the concentration of fluquinconazole and flusilazole in apple leaves were obtained respectively, for speed sprayer 8.33 and 2.15 mg/kg, for power sprayer 4.56 and 1.10 mg/kg, and for knapsack 4.55 and 1.12 mg/kg. The results showed that the treatment using speed sprayer had highest efficiency. The pesticide residues in apple leaves sprayed by 3 different spray volumes (560, 336 and 230 L/10a) using speed sprayer were 10.76 mg/kg, 8.32 mg/kg, 6.04 mg/kg on fluqinconazle and 3.04 mg/kg, 2.14 mg/kg and 1.47 mg/kg on flusilazole, respectively, indicating that the higher the volume, the higher the residues. The results from this study can be used as scientific basis for evaluating the field trial data for pesticide registration and the spray volume setting for fruit trees in Korea.

Spraying of nozzles and design of tractor-attached boom sprayers have been studied for analysis of liquid spraying features. The following conclusions have been drawn. At all pressures, twin flat spray tips was finer than flat spray tips. A fine spray with VMD of 101 to 200 appeared at 1.5MPa. So, it was selected as the boom sprayer nozzle. In spraying uniformity analysis, Type B was proven to have more uniformity than Type A and Type C at 52.0 cm attached distance. Type A and Type C were proven to have more uniformity than Type B at 58.5 cm attached distance. It is concluded that these results reflect atomizing characteristics of nozzles during pest control with tractor-attached boom sprayer. Therefore, optimum setting will be putting Type C with 58.5 cm distance.

In order to find out the optimum size of nozzle of the power sprayer in the paddy field, four different sized hole of nozzles were tested on its discharge volume per unit time and its effective covering distance. 1. The discharge rate of each nozzle is proportional to square root of the transmitted internal pressure of liquid, and the discharge coefficient ranges from 0.82 to 0.86 at the pressure of 20 to 30 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. 2. The effective covering distance is increased as the size of the hole is larded and also the pressure is increased under under the limited pressure. Generally, the effective covering distance is not greatly increased at the pressure of above 25kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The distance from the nozzle to the spot where the largest amount of droplets are dropped is about 14.5m for 3.05mm nozzle and 16m for 4.05mm nozzle in the pressure range from 20 to 25kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. 3. From the above results it is concluded that the 3mm nozzle with the power sprayers, which are now being supplied to the farmers, can be used for disease and insect control on the paddy field of which block size is 30m${\times}$100m, and operators need not to enter the field for spraying. For the 40m${\times}$100m block, 4mm nozzle should be used with large size of pump which discharge capacity is 60l/min or more.

Fundamental informations on performance of sets of solenoid valve and nozzle were necessary to develop a target selectable spraying system. The experiments were performed for the sets of solenoid valves and flat spraying nozzles at 3 levels of the operating pressures, and the obtained results are as follows; Rise time of the system pressure to reach up to 90% of the operating pressure after the valve turned was affected by nozzle size and operating pressure. Maximum overshoot of the system pressure was about 170% not affected by the sets of valve and nozzle and operating pressure. The system pressure after its settle down within 5% of the set pressure showed good uniformity in any condition of the experiment as less as 2.3% of its coefficient of variation. Time requirement to lower the system pressure down to 50% after the valve power turned off was affected by valve and nozzle set and operating pressure.

Individual farming involving small land parcel (0.5 to 1.0ha) is declining because it is uneconomic and unable to incorporate modern technological innovation to improve its production efficiency. A centrally managed medium scale mechanised rice share farming was implemented at Permatang Pauh, Sebeerang Perai, Malaysia in 1988-1991 for eight seasons on a contiguous 57 ha rice land rented from 100 owners. Ten participants were chosen to participate in this project which perpetuated from revolving fund of MR 165.000. The objective of the project was to overcome problem of production efficiency and to provide a stable income to farmers operating on a medium and full time basis. Mechanisation was given prime emphasis to optime and reduce labour requirement and meeting the targeted crop scheduling. Direct seeding and mechanical transplanting methods of crop establishment were adopted. Land preparations, crop establishment and crop care were done using machineries purchased by the group. Selected participants were trained to operate machineries which composed 2 and 4 wheel tractors, mechanical transplanters, motorised seeders and sprayers. Harvesting and transportation of rice to the mills were done on contractual basis using combine harvesters and bulk handling via 3-4 ton lorries respectively. The net clean yield (less 10-20 percent deduction at rice mills) obtained in such project has contributed to stabilise the production and income of participating farmers.

The purpose of this study was to develop an optimal path planning program for autonomous speed sprayer in orchard. A digital map which contained coordinate information and entity information including height, width, radius of main stem, and disease of a trees was developed to build an optimal path. The digital map, dynamic programming and order-picking algorithm were used for planning an optimal path for autonomous speed sprayers. When this algorithm applied to rectangular-shaped orchards to travel whole trees, the developed program planned the same working path and same traveling distance as those of created by conventional method. But for irregular-shaped orchards, developed program planned differently and 5.06% shorter path than conventional method. When applied to create path for multi-selected trees, irregular-shaped orchards showed 13.9% shorter path and also rectangular-shaped orchards showed 9.1% shorter path. The developed program always planned shorter path than the path created by conventional method despite of variation of shape of orchards.
