Automated stand for the study of injectors made of polymer materials for hydraulic weed destruction

Abstract

The work describes a new technological process for weed destruction and tillage in the near-stem zones of fruit trees and covers the prospects for studying the hydraulic method of weed destruction. The quality of hydraulic tillage and weed destruction has been determined to be conditioned by the shape and the required pressure of the jet. The results of theoretical calculations and initial tests show that an automated stand is needed for nozzles’ testing and optimizing the operating modes of the hydraulic device. A working body and an automated stand have been designed to study the parameters of nozzles made of polymer materials and the impact of the working body on various weeds and soil surfaces.
