This project aims to validate the general hypothesis that the effectiveness of spraying through nets can be optimized by selecting appropriate spraying and exclusion parameters so as to achieve an adequate deposition rate of inputs, in terms of
Using a complete exclusion system for orchards as well as optimized air flow spray, measure:
