Highly Efficient Airblast Sprayer Design within the Project: Healthy Crop, Healthy Environment, Healthy Finances – H3O

Cropland covers almost 25% of the EU (4.4 million km²) and most of that area is subject to phytosanitary treatments. With the EU Horizon 2020 project Healthy crop, Healthy environment, Healthy finances through Optimization (H₃O), Pulverizadores Fede will bring a completely new generation of plant protection product application devices (sprayers) to market, with the aim of reducing the amount of product that is released into the environment by 50% and saving 38.5% of diesel. This will result in savings worth €462.5 per hectare annually. Moreover, the project is meeting key requirements of the EU Directive 2009/128/EC on sustainable use of pesticides and is in line with the food chain industry standard GLOBALG.A.P.
