Abstract
A tunnel sprayer was developed for dwarf fruit trees. Spray deposit st udies with various delivery devices revealed that the most uniform dep osition within the tree and on both leaf surfaces was achieved by usin g two pairs of opposing cross-flow fans with hydraulic nozzles. The tu nnel sprayer showed significant drift reduction potential over a comme rcial air-blast sprayer.
