The main way to protect plants from diseases and pests is the treatment of seed material with pesticides. To achieve maximum efficiency from complex seed treatment, it is necessary to evenly distribute the drug over the surface of all available seeds. One of the conditions for operation of the etcher is the possibility of connecting to the compressor unit and the electricity network. The performance of the sprayer was studied depending on the pressure in the pneumatic system of the spraying device and the diameter of the feeding tube.
